Info from 02 manual

Front

15.6"-396mm (+-1/2")

Rear

14.8"-376mm (+-1/2")

Are you thinking about lowering it and if so what height are you looking to run?

I went with AGX's and hotchkis because I started with 15.25 in front and 14 in the rear. I ended up with 14.75 in the front and 14 in the rear. It was supposed to be lower 1.5 and .5 respectively. I go down to Hotchkis Tues. WTF?

The rears turned out like they should have but I agree the front is not right. Did you use the OE tops in front or did you go with bottom mount camber plates?

I installed Koni's on my car so I have no experience with AGX's but I'd think it could be either the struts or the springs. If the bottom spring perch is at a different height relative to the mounting point at the bottom of the strut it could raise the ride height. Before you go to Hotchkis I'd take a measurement from the top mounting hole of the strut to the lower spring perch. Having this info could be helpful if Hotchkis blames the problem on the struts. There is a possibility you got the wrong parts. I had that problem when I ordered my Tops and GC coils.

Good luck
