Default KYB AGX High Preformance Shocks

I have a 99hb and I'm about to buy KYB AGX High Preformance Shocks for 395 unless anyone can give me some really negative feedback. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

$395 is way too much. I got mine a good year and a half ago for around $300.

yeah thats WAYYY too much,

I payed 320 SHIPPED for mine, brand new

also, they are a very good shock,
just dont dump with them. its not good for the shock, and it very bad for handling.
make sure you have enough suspension travel.

also they arent all that great for really high springrate springs,
or at least linear rate ones. they should be ok with any regular spring, but watchout with coilover sleeves

Run the AGX's on both my cars in conjunction with the pro-kit on both cars and no complaints. Good shock for the price.

I got mine fro $200 shipped, they were used though. Look around on eBay, because the price does seem high. A good choice though

You will be riding the bumpstops all day
im runnin 500lb Ground Controls on AGXs on my 92 Si and it bottoms out around turns and its lowered less then 1 inch. Your car will handle worse that low, unless you get shortened konis...

Got KYBs all around my Civic, awesome shocks.

I got the set of 4 for about $300 back in December. Still stiff like new. Try to look up InlineFour.com and see if they can give you a deal. That's where I picked my set up.

The thing is I do have some coil overs that are going to be going on them. I didnt know that it wasnt good to dump on them. What kind of struts are good for going low? Like 2 and a half inches or so.
