Question, couldn't i just keep my KYB AGX's and get the G/C coilovers and do that combo or is that a shitty combo?

yea, that's the thing, i don't want my shit to be bottoming out. I don't think the springs are stiff enough.
The AGX/ S2 combo i have is decent but the freakin springs they offer for my teg don't lower it evenly all the way around. It's like 2.0 in the front (which looks great ) and like 1.75 in the rear. I know it doesn't sound much higher in the back but, it is def noticable and it looks like my ass end is up in the air

You could, but it really depends on how low you plan on doing. AGX's performance degrade after 1.5". Koni Yellows have both dampening and ride height adjustment, they are also rebuildable. IMO, the yellows are the way to go because on a honda, 1.5" drop or less is dookie.

Like i said, i have a 2 inch drop in the front with the S2 springs and i love where it sits. I just want the rear to sit the same. I don't think my AGX's can handle that drop cuz it seems to bottom out on bumps sometimes. May just sell my setup and go with the koni/ gc setup for the stiffer/ better handling combo

it was some online dealer on hondatech, there are a couple of websites that have them too, just search. with the damping force i either turn it all the way to hard or all the way to soft, soft makes the ride feel much smoother and hard makes me feel like im in a race car . my gsr is slammed, and i have had them for over a year now, no problems what so ever with the coilovers, and i still have room to drop more if i wanted to.
