Default KYB AGX question

Hi,

I'm pretty much a newbie and just bought some Ground Control for my 95 Del Sol and I'm looking to get some decent/inexpensive shocks for a daily driver. From my research so far the AGX look like a good fit.

Looking to get some feedback good or bad about KYB AGX...thanks

I really like my AGX shocks and the adjustability. I would say they are the best for someone on a budget. If your not, look at the Koni Yellows (infinite adjustability and better warranty). The only problem with the KYBs is the warranty issue. It is voided if car is dropped over 1.5". I'm on H&R Sports right now and haven't had a problem thus far.

if the top adjuster breaks, do they send you a whole new shock?

Uhh...Hondas don't have 6 inches of suspension travel from the factory. If you were dropped 6" (which I seriously doubt) then the shocks were completely compressed and did nothing but sit there...


As for the AGX, good quality for those on a budget. Upgrade to Koni Yellows if you have more to spend.
