Now that the body work is done im moving to the next phase of my project for my 95 LS Special. That starts with the suspension and brakes. Im doing a full brake overhaul since the car has almost 200k on it, calipers, fluid, lines, etc. Im also doing a full suspension overhaul as well since most of the bushings are shot to hell. One thing i havent been able to decide on yet however is which shocks to use with mild drop lowering springs.

Ive looked at several different shocks, KYB, monroe sensatrac, sachs, etc. Im not sure which set will provide a comfortable ride. This is not an autox car, this is a DD and i want the ride to be smooth and comfortable. Ive considered KYB adjustable shocks however my question is, how do they adjust? Do you have to remove the wheel to adjust them every time, or can you just pop the hood and adjust them via the shock tower. I know different models have varying options but i havent seen them directly on an integra to answer this question.

 

They adjust on top like the tokico illuminias. They have 4 settings.

 

KYB AGX adjust on the top of the shock tower. They are 12 way adjustable so if you cant find a good setting there you have to be impossible to please.

 

12 way adjustable? Not seeing that. From what many are reporting, it's 4 way. Photos indicate (perhaps a newer model or maybe just a generic photo) 6 way. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

KYB AGX is a decent street/mild track shock, though I cannot say for sure where the adjustment point is.

I run Tokico Illuminas and am quite happy. 5 way adjustable from the top of the shock tower.
