I just ordered some Kyb gr-2's .. i was wondering if these struts are shorter than the factory struts by any chance? if these struts will give my car a better lowered look. I installed my lowering springs on my factory struts and it lowered my car but didnt give me the look i wanted.. J.w.. if not i figure ill go with the sportlines and see how that does .... give me some feedback

The struts dont lower your car, your springs will. When you lower your car you are suppose to change your OEM struts because they wont up hold up. Remember when you lower the car more than 2 Inches (Like the Sportlines will) you need a camber kit. The tires tend to split out aka Negative camber...which will chew up your tires from the inside wall.

AGXs are a good set up for the DSMs.
2gs have more options, but for 1gs, a basic suspension upgrade to go with is the AGXs and the Eibach ProKit

Most Dsm'ers say that the Tokicos shocks work best with our cars...but they are a little bit more expensive than the AGX's. I got the AGX's and they work Fabulous! :thumbsup:
