      Well try Googling "adjustable dampening" not "dampering". But regardless, the adjustable dampening allows u to adjust firmness or softness. Has nothing to do with ride height adjustment. If u want shocks/struts that give u ride height adjustment the only ones I know of are the Koni's with the adjustable perch. Other than that the only way ur gonna have height adjustment is with coilovers or coilover sleeves.

        Even with the adjustable perch on the konis, the strut/spring assembly would need to be removed from the car, taken apart, and adjusted that way. It's not something I would want to do twice a year... you may not have a problem with it.

        I would not suggest AGX for anything more than a 1.5" drop. Koni Yellows are what you want if you want to go any lower than that.

          On top of that madness I believe the perch adjustment only allows + or - .5 inch at most, which isn't even much of a difference considering.

            buzz11: you could have included this with the other thread. listen to these guys, and my recommendations in the other thread still stand.

              Yeah, it's not considerable. I've never adjusted mine.

                  I was talking about height... I've adjusted the stiffness... full stiff was scary as hell! Rode like a go-kart. Worked well on the track, though.
