I was ok with the RM drop,even though they still looked slightly higher in front due to the sentra fender arches.
The hypercos just made that worse.

No hemorroids here,dude,but I will be 40 in a few months,so I guess I am getting old.
I removed RM/AGX.It was pretty decent for a lowered car,but still alittle to harsh for me for a daily(300-500 miles a week)
This is a night and day difference in ride quality,but yet it still handles flat and predictable.

But then again, I'd probably avoid cutting up the springs and go with the GC sleeves so I could use 2.5" springs at whatever rate and height I wanted.
I agree to a point,and your input is always appreciated,Ben.
But I wasnt "shopping" for new suspension,I stumbled across a good deal on CSK/Hypercos,and already had the RM/AGX.Since the RM sat a tad lower I was afraid to cut them,whereas the hypercos look like RM now that they are cut.
I am VERY happy with the outcome.
Keep in mind I am building a track car with progress coilovers.Thats why I started to soften up my daily a little

I liked the ground controls/agx's a LOT. The only issue was I never took advantage of the adjust-ability and my collars ended up seizing. That and they were noisy if I wanted more rake in the rear. You can't beat a spring/strut combo for its simplicity.
All in all I am a ricer though so take all that with a two grains of salt and a shake of ground peppa.
I actually like the way the car rotates.I am well aware of the characteristics you speak of.The B13 is always a more tailhappy car than the B14 (without a bent beam anyway)
Its not a good idea to let off in a hard corner or you are asking for trouble.Throttle is your friend.
Shawn,you will be amazed at the difference the CSKs will make.
I always thought the AGX were decent,and they are.I had hyperco/agx on my NX and loved it,but this is much better,IMO.
I need to let a local racer like Russell take it for a spin for a review,just for shits and giggles.I would be interested to hear some input from guys with track experience.
Tokes...since you bought my ST front bar now,so I am running the stock front bar with ES endlink and swaybar bushings.I also have a cusco FSTB and Overkill front lower 2pt. control arm brace.
On the rear I am using Active tuning RSTB and a whiteline 2 way adjustable rear swaybar se on the softer setting.
I didnt get any pics with the hypercos on(uncut) but I have some pics of the RM/agx and I will get some pics up of the current CSK/
Hypercuts in a day or 2
