Default Anybody have KYB AGXs?

If so, how's the ride and adjustability? Are they worth the money? How much stiffer are they than stock shocks using the various settings? Also, if anybody has pics of H&R Sports that would be nice.

Thanks!

I know, because most of them have been by me. I'm just trying to get a lot of input and research before I spend $300 on shocks that might suck. Just looking out for myself.

From everything I've read about these shocks, they do NOT suck. I will be getting them very soon as well...

I do hear though that u dont want to go with more than a 2" drop with them...

I heard you don't want to go below 1.5" but mine will be around that with the H&R Sports. My car has 17s so I need some sort of stiffness adjustability so that I don't have any rubbing. What does the limited lifetime warranty cover?

Thanks for the email. I wish the shocks for my car were 8-way adjustable instead of 4 but oh well. Anybody know the spring rates on H&R Sports?

I have the 4 way top adjustables, and i love them. I leave them on 4 in front and back and they dont budge a bit. Sometimes i can get the back end to come around becasue the extra weight of the 4dr. i love them .

I have KYB AGX's and Weapon-R Circuit Pro Dual Spring Coilovers. I've had them for quite some time now, probably 2-3 months. I have yet to install them, which I will be doing tomorrow. I will start my initial setting on 2 Front 4 Rear. Then adjust from there. I will post my feedback after test driving them. These are going on a 00 Civic Sedan. BTW FYI deepnite, they are 4-way adjustable in the front and 8-way in for the rear .

Good for the money, but I'll stick with my Koni Yellows.
