From what I understand, kyb agx struts aren't compatible on either the front or rear (i can't remember which). I've heard that I will need a 97-03 part to make the struts work. What is this part?
Thanks in advance

The rears will bolt up just fine. The fronts will work if you use the lower control arms and swaybar from the 97-03 GP's.

Actually, wasn't it 06+ they went back to the older style control arms? So he should be able to just bolt everything up, no extra parts.

Check if your endlinks connect to the control arm- if so, u don't need the 03's control arm. If it connects to the strut- the. U need to switch it.

Alright, change of plans; I don't think I'm gonna lower it. My ride absolutely blows right now, so I think I'm going to get some KYB GR2's and strut mounts. My question is should I stick with the stock springs with 78k? I've heard that when you replace the struts on stock springs, you can actually see a higher ride height. Also, how much of a ride difference would you expect me to see from GR2's on stock springs?

Higher ride height? :scratch: That doesn't make sense to me. Struts don't hold a car up, springs do, so if you're keeping the same springs than your ride height won't change. As for GR2's... not sure. Never used them before.
