KYBs not good enough? Options

[turbohcar]

I was at the shop today with Ryan (mitsu 77) and we were installing some new KYB struts on a 1g Talon. I read through the warnings by KYB and they claimed that the maximum you could lower the car with their struts is 1.5 inches. After that the warranty does not cover anything that is lowered more than 1.5 because the strut is not meant to go down that far. Problem being, I was figuring on buying a set for my Intrax springs that lower the car 2.5-3 inches. I'm going to email KYB right now but I figured I might get a more timely response if one of you guys new the answer. Thanks

I just installed a full set of KYB AGX on my 1G FWD. I also happened to use intrax springs. The Intrax springs, in my opinion, are too low not only for the struts, but for the car as well. I fully regret the purchase, and will be buying Eibach Pro-Kit in the near future. I bottom out the front suspension on speed bumps, at 2mph. The struts are fantastic. No complaints. If possible, I fully recommend going with a different spring. Also, the ride is way too stiff, even with the struts set on full soft. This is my impression of the set-up, and will not say this info is accurate in all cases. I simply believe the springs are FAR too low for the car.
