    you should also get anti pogo washers for the front and tranny/engine mount spacers
    agx struts are the way to go with lowering springs because they will handle the abuse longer then the stockish gr2 struts, my plan is to get the entire agx combo from zzp someday

    Some have premature wear with agx. Eg: floating. Twin tubes are also slower to respond.

    Bilsteins will raise the car so ssc might nit be enough to meet your lowering goal with bilsteins.

    Also the hds might be too much. They typically add rebound (sometimes too much) to create the impression of a sporty ride meanwhile the car "jacks down" which causes other issues like increased component wear and compromised camber curves. But if you're lowering your.curves are already compromised.
