Default Any problems with KYB AGX + Skunk2 sleeves combo over time?

I've had the AGX on Eibach Sportlines for a couple years but I'm looking for more stiffness. In the past I used to hear people moan about how KYB's can't handle drop or the high Skunk2 rates, but recently I have been hearing good things about the combo. I have been considering the Omnipower sleeves since they are basically the same thing for a fraction of the price, rates are 448 front 336 rear. Is this too high for the AGX? If you are running Skunk2 + AGX please chime in. How does it ride/handle and how long have you been running the combo? Any blown shocks? TIA

I'm running skunks and kybs on my hatch. Its rides nice. I'm running setting 1 all the way around. Havnt had a chance to mess with it since I took the motor apart. I'm trying to run the extended top hatch so I can get more travel from my shocks since my cars pretty low.

Ive been running the set up for quite a while now, word on the street is kyb agx's get soft after so long but thats only what i heard. They seem to ride fine and the handling is pretty good but ill always wonder if i should of got the koni yellows instead. I thought about selling my set up and going with the tein basics but i heard about the basics arent any better then having the set up i have now if not worse.

But anyway, nope.. no problems with my kyb agx/skunk coil over set up
