want the AGX's to last long? don't slam it. some people have problems with the AGX's when the car sits really low, when my honda was a street car i had KYB and GC and i was low mine last 20 or so thousand miles, and then i sold them still in perfect working order. But i seem to be the exception to what most people experance.

He has the GR-2s, since he said they're non-adjustable. From my experience with KYB, they're probably already blown.

woops completly looked over that. The GR2 is a stock replacment damper, which means it is on the same performance of a stock damper, i wouldn't run the skunk2 coilover on those dampers at any height if you want them to last a long time

I don't like skunk2 products, and don't think there damper/spring are worth a crap.
