Just keep in mind, the the front suspension on the USDM 8G is different than the one you have (JDM). Yours should be more like the one on the 7G

thanks bro, mine does have the suspension like the 7g, but still I can't get that compression stuff to rent, so I will maybe just take it to a shop.. maybe they can adjust the front struts.. the ride height, and drop it. :)

Nope, I'm not planning on getting new struts, just keepin 'em stock. The drop will be 1.4" all around...

Found out that 3 out of 4 shocks are blown on my car.. :/ so I'll change 'em all 4 and put the springs on.. I tried to get the KYB AGX.. but they're not in stock.. only the back shocks.. so, I'd have to wait a week or two for them.. I am just gonna get MONROE shocks, what do you guys think?

I'd just go with KYBs

damn it sucks living here.. I can't get kyb's all out of stock, and I just paid 100-200 bucks for the work of taking off all the shocks .. and shit, and my springs do not work :( they are too small.. so I am getting so fucking pissed off.. 3 of my shocks are damaged.. and I can not use them, can't ride with that.. and the monroe's is the best I can get.. or well the shop just picked 'em up for me.. damnit this sucks, can't get any springs and I still have to do that again later, and can't get KYB's.. I HATE THIS.. if I do get dissappointed with the monroe's I am so returning them back!!!

And btw, if anyone can help a brotha out PLEASE do.. I measured the oem springs and the width of the inside of the spring is 3.8" (on the top) and on the bottom it's 2.2" inside.. i need springs with that measure, the other ones were too small, and I took 'em back and got my money back..
