for street only? good enough, they'll def do the job, and do it well enough for street only, unless your out for a better quality, then its koni. For track, KONI!

I daily drive them and also autocross them. They are nice and you do feel the difference in adjustments. I have never tried Koni Yellow. Sometimes I do wish they would be even stiffer. I say get them, cause they are very reliable for the price.

after 2 minutes? post *****.

I've felt KYB's and Koni Yellows. There was nothing to complain about either one. i like them both.

For the money, brand new, KYB's and Yellows are somewhat close in price... about $200 dollar difference. i'd spend the extra hundred and get Konis though. konis have more dampening adjustablity than the KYB's. and they are easier to get to in the rear. spend the extra hundred for Koni's. they are in the classifieds forum in the suspension forum. Brand new ~$499

suspension is one of those things you dont want to cheap out on. I would say if you can get the extra scratch then spring for koni yellows, you wont regret it, and they will cover your *** if you decide to start taking your car to the track. If the extra scratch is to much then KYBs are the best at that price.

I drive an EG with KYP AGXs and Skunk2 Coilovers. I love the ride. A very firm responsive handling upgrade. But for the real deal, look at a Tein coilover set. Only like 1500 USD.

But really that is a lot. I've heard nothing but good things from the KYB AGX's though. So they get a until I hear otherwise.

to AGX's. People say not to cheap out on the suspension, but who would argue with a respectable setup for a cheaper price? Almost 3 years and still going strong on a 2" drop.

I upgraded from AGX's to Koni Yellows and it was like going from a stock shock to a the agx's, the koni do everything the AGX's do but 10X better.

I have had really good luck with agx's in the past. I had agx's and tein springs on my old four door civic and it cornered great. Currently I have agx's and ground control coilovers on my Nissan. If I had more money I would have gone with the tein full coilovers but you can't go wrong with agx's.
