Option 1 worries me. I doubt the [regular] KYB shocks will work well with the H&R springs. The shocks will probably be too soft for the H&R springs...the shocks will probably blow out in a year's time, I bet.

OTOH, Option 2 doesn't sound fantastic either. While the adjustability of the KYB AGX shocks is a plus, I'd go for a lowering spring that is engineered to work with the AGXs. Mixing and matching makes me :nervous:

I :dunno:... For the money, I'd go with an H&R Cup Kit (if you're sticking w/ H&R as a brand). That way the shocks & springs are designed for compatibility.
