In general, the lower you go, the more negative camber and faster shock wear.

I would recommend Koni Yellows instead of AGX's, but yep, you'll be fine. Full coilovers would probably be about $5-600 more than and AGX/sleeves.

is the ride quality and durablity/reliability very close to the full coilover kit?

How much would I be looking at for koni yellows and the R1's installed?
