So I finally got my suspension shipped to me. 2nd hand Kyb agx and gc coilovers, and the shipper shipped them in a medicine cabinet box from so-cal. The box was in tatters and there was bubble wrap covering maybe half of each strut assembly. Buuut, all in all they are in good shape, and the ups guy asked me if I wished I had an sti And I had to explain why I love my wagon and how practical it is. I wish I was not spoiled by working on a hoist, and could encourage myself to put them on in my garage.
I ordered struts from tirerack and even though they were well packaged and double boxed and it was still beat up enough that the boxes were torn and the struts had some cosmetic damage. They're just heavy with sharp edges and the shipping companies aren't exactly gentle... It's not that bad doing struts without a hoist, I think having a good impact and spring compressor is enough. Anyway, enjoy the AGXs. It sounds like a nice setup.
