sup guys just thought id let everyone know that i installed the kyb agx adjustable shocks on my car with the skunk2 coilovers...there great

 

is the adjustment *** on the top or the side?

 

I think for front struts ajustment is on top.
Rear is on side.

 

Adjustment **** is on top for both front and back

 

 

Stupid question, are 4 or 1 the hardest, ive had mine a month and have forgotten,t hanks

 

4 is the hardest

 

People say the koni yellows are better then the kyb agx, is this just because the koni's are stiffer? Also I like the fact that there are preset numbered positions on the ***, the koni's don't have this, they have no preset points of stiffness. Thats how my friends koni yellow's are for his 3 series.

There seem to be many valid reasons that people have for prefering konis.
I am in a jam because I need shocks, but can't afford koni's. Yet everyone says to get the konis.

 

Because of the way the koni's have their stiffness setting **** like that, it allows you to really set it to whatever you want more precisely.

Tokico Illuminas seem to be a favorite among others who can't afford koni yellows. They're like 400 something and are 5-way adjustable.

 

I love my AGX!!! But I almost never adjust them anymore. 3 front, 4 rear...it works to rid of understeer!

 

Im in the same situation. Do Koni Red's hold the same repuations as the Yellow's, just lacking the ability to adjust them??

 

damn..your *** must be made of steel. lol
j/p

I personally ride 2f, 1r.... I never even tried 4 yet. hehe

 

where are the adjustments on the yellows? I am torm between the kybs and the yellows.

 

same here. either that or he/she has some really nice roads.

no, but you get used to it. And actually, the roads here suck. I have fun dodging potholes and I avoid certain streets that are totally unacceptable. It's nice to know your suspension is nice and stiff if you get the urge to have a little fun on the way home from work. I also keep my kumhos at 40 psi, which is pretty hard too. I just hope my car doesn't rattle to pieces.

 

It's on the top just like the KYB AGX's.

 

yup the adjustment is on top for KYB and Koni... w/ the KYB you insert the little supplied screwdriver to turn it to 1-4 whatever setting you desire.. w/ the Koni's they supply an adjustment **** w/ the Koni logo and an arrow towards which way is firm and you adjust it to your liking.. I have Koni yellows myself... installed a couple sets of KYB's...

 

w/ skunk2's?

tell me how long it takes them to go bad... just heard a lot of bad stories about skunk2/agx combos which is why i went koni

 

naw most of the installs I've done w/ KYB's were w/ H&R OE or Sports, and Eibach Pro-kits... on my own car I used Eibach sportline springs and Koni Yellows.. had this setup for several yrs (had springs over 6 yrs.. and shocks for over 3 yrs..what can I say.. I was still in college and couldn't afford to do it both at once )... my friend recently installed Skunk 2's on his car w/ AGX's.. but since its still new.. dunno how long they'll last...

 

I've heard bad things about h&r sports and agx's, to low

 

not my car so I dunno.. .. plus the installs were pretty recent (less than a year) so i guess time will tell...
