I have 2.0" front, 1.75" rear drop with neuspeed springs, Skunk 2 Front Camber, Ingalls Rear Camber, AGX Shocks :-(, and a Comptech Sway bar and I love it (except for the AGX shocks). My car handles like a street legal go-kart now.

If you are going to daily drive the car, get a mild drop because bottoming out everywhere really sucks. I do it all the time and my car is not too extremely low.

And ruins daily drivability. Polyurethane bushings make lots of noise, and make the ride super harsh. I'd recommend just change out for polyurethane bushings in the trailing arm, sway bar, and shifter bushings for now. Those will have noticeable benefits without making things too harsh.

That is probably why you arent satisfied with your AGXs. They are GREAT shocks for the money if you install and use them correctly. If you are bottoming out...the springs are too short for those shocks.

I went with "Energy Suspension" polyurethane bushings in my Integra. Though the ride is much stiffer, I wouldn't say it's that harsh for daily driving. As far as the noise issue goes if you spray the bushings down with Wurth HHS 2000 lubricaring spray before the install then there isn't any problems as far as noise.

No, my car is just too low for the shitty Orange County roads. I don't have many problems with my shocks but I would like better ones to fit my suspension set-up.

That's what I mean. Those shocks arent meant for drops lower than 1.5" - 2". Shocks such as the Koni Yellows (Neuspeed Edition) are designed for handling shorter springs (lower drops).
