After 6 months of gathering parts and info, I finally got my car done. Final cost after everything was $1265 US. My setup includes a set of KYB AGX adjustables, Whiteline springs, and all the OEM bits to make it fit (ie. seals, spring plates, dust covers, bumpstops, etc). Let me tell you I couldnt be happier!!.... that is unless I won a sweepstakes for an STi. I decided to replace my strut top mounts later on. I will do so with the STi hard rubber mounts vs. the Cusco pillow ball mounts. Next on the suspension agenda... Strut tower bars (front and rear) and rear sway bar.
In Joyus Abandon,
Cody

I opted to get the STi Mounts at a different time. Its on my list... just a bit further down than some others. Besides, my wallet is still hurting. The job at the YMCA isnt cutting it.

Cool. Did you remove all the crap from the drivers side fender well? How about the air control computer?

I would like to know what you did with all of the air suspension hardware also. I have a co-worker that is in the process of switching over and he asked if I could check on it for him

Wasnt sure who you where asking but I took all of mine out. Take the drivers front wheel off and the battery out. Then remove the plastic fender liner. Unplug the air lines and electrical connections first.
Its a significant chunk of weight, plus its right on the dang corner of the car.
If anyone wants I have a blank for the air suspension button.
