I have the pro kit and tokico HP Blue's and my car. I bought the car with the tokico's on it, so I really had no choice in the matter. I dont really enjoy the ride much. What should I do? Get different springs or change the shocks? What would make the biggest difference in ride quality? What would be the best suspension set up to get for the money?
i am in the same place as you check my sig. after two years of "better than stock" but still too sloppy i am saving for a modivational coilover setup. it is a bit $$$ but from what i have read on the forum modiv. is the best street setup.
I had like 6 questions....if you arent going to offer any help then dont post. I did search and I didnt find exactly what I wanted to hear. So I posted....why is there a problem?

Calm down, I'm sure you would have found the answers to all your questions using the search button
Also with my B14 it looks like the back of the car is dropped more. But i understand it just looks like that because of the way the back part of the car is designed. It just looks gay and i want it to look more even. If I bought some KYB AGX's would that make a difference?
I think AGX's can improve your ride. But as for your height question, coilovers are the only thing that I know of that can fix that.
So if you're going to consider getting the two of those, why not take the next step and go with the Tein SS setup. Yeah it's expensive. But it's really nice, and you won't have the boing boing boing of the GC's and AGX's.

I wasnt considering getting GC at all. The height issue isnt that big of a deal....I was just wondering if the AGX's could change it. Im trying to keep the costs to a mininum and improve the ride. I can live w/ the pro kit.
The AGX's are 4-point front and 8-point rear adjustable. All externally. If you don't mind a softer cushier ride, the softer rate settings might do a little on the ride hight. Set the front at 1 and the rear at 6-7. I'd do this for you to see if there is a difference, but my car has no wheels and a 4/5 installed det.
The AGX won't drop your car any lower or make it higher. They just allow you to make your car's ride stiffer or softer. As for the equal front and rear drop, the only thing that comes close are the Tein springs, other then that you'll need coilovers as Matt said. I have the Tein/KybAgx setup on my car, I will post pics of the suspension once the car is out of the shop.

Thanks for the quality assistance. What would be a good price for a set of GC and what would be a good price for a for a set of AGX's.
I have GC and KYB on mine and i adjusted it to be even.... I think that the only way to get your car to look even is by getting coilovers..... As far as the shocks i would get the KYB's.....

Depends on how bad your shcks are worn. Either way, you are going to have to replace the shocks.
I run GC/AGX and I ran the car too low for a good six months. I raised it up and both ride & handling improved 100%.

I had Pk's and AGX's on my old 200 and I loved it. Wheel gap was about 3 fingers(1.5ish") in the front and 2 fingers (1ish")in the back.
Adjustability is noticeable and the setup is cheap. I plan on putting the same setup on my 240.

AGX's apx. 400 from PST.com
EDIT: You will wear your stock struts out very quickly by changing the ride height on them. You can do one at a time, but the struts will fail quicker. My stock struts went out 6 months after I put on the Pro-Kits.
