    Nice...you will enjoy the more firm ride and better handling benefits will make you enjoy you Galant even more.

    You should do it yourself and save some money. The hardest part is removing the spring from the assembly. Just rent the spring removal tool from Autozone or Advanced Auto Parts.

    If you have aftermarket springs and struts/shocks, you dont have to take apart your stock springs, just pull them out .

    You gotta take off the tops of the struts/shocks...with the proper tools of course.

    You are correct, maybe if he got some new tops from a junkyard, then he wont have to mess with the springs. Thats what I do in your case to save some money for install.

    Before the exterior is complete do something about that exhaust tip, if you don't a muffler or exhaust setup at least a nice tip to go over the stock tiny tip

    i gotta try some lowering springs because i recently installed the AGX's at the shop and with the oem springs set at 1 all arounds its bouncy to me!! i wonder what would be the right number with oem or lowering springs to get a comfortable ride!

    Click here. A guy on club3g named raceko is selling full sets of AGX's for $290 shipped. He doesn't seem to have the best customer service and has been a little funny about sending stuff out in a timely manner, but everyone has ended up getting them... and some actually did get them fast. Beats paying like $400 which is the best I can currently find with shipping.

    it is funny u should mention the guy, b/c i got them from him and yes the shipping was slow as hell and the fronts came like a week apart from the rears.. i guess i shoulda gone thru club3g for the deal.. oh well
