Put on the adj. coil overs on KYB AGX. Have it set almost all the way down and the car height is higher than it was with my INTRAX lowering springs!! What could be causing this??

Your AGX's are about to die. Let's all say a prayer for them.

AGX's are not meant for coilovers. Stiff spring rates will blow them without a doubt. Especially with you trying to go lower than an Intrax drop.

Go with the Eibach Pro Kit springs, since the AGX's are only warranteed for a 1.5" drop.

If you really want to keep your Coilovers, get Koni Yellow Struts/Shocks. They can handle a lower drop. Also, a suggestion is not to put any coilovers all the way to the bottom.

Also, what company makes those coilovers? If it's some off brand company and cheap, I would highly suggest not installing them on your ride for the simple reason that cheap parts = cheap performance.

My suggestion, keep your intrax and re-install them on the AGXs. If you want to be super low, I would highly suggest just getting air ride because getting coilovers and slamming them down won't last very long on any air strut.

Installed wrong. Probably some ebay crap that can't really be installed right.

Did you put them on the spring perches or some such ghetto thing?

Seriously... go read the FAQ and it'll probably save you a lot of money in the long run.
