go with the konis. the agxs will be overworked with race springs (drop is lower than the 1.25" kyb spec...)

its not just the drop that can wear out the agxs, but the spring rate. what are the rates on the race springs? hopefully not much more than 50% over the stock ones...

I believe Neuspeed race springs are 455 in front and in the high 300 range in back (close to 400).

guaranteed to 1.5" drop... like above, it's about the spring rate

So that's why KYB AGX works good with Eibach Prokits which provide a 1.3~1.5 drop?

Btw, what's the spring rate for the prokits and stock springs?

Well the KYB AGX's are just fine for my Neuspeed Sport springs at a 1.75" drop. i usually leave them set close to middle, so w/ race i would leave them at stiffest and they should be fine, but if I had money for Koni's i would just get them. So get Koni's if you can afford it, if you want to save a little, get the kyb's they'll be just fine.
agreed
