Any body have experience with kyb AGX Shocks?
If you guys have, do you like them? Did your ride get smoother? I just got them, and am installing them this weekend. Feed back would help! THanks

The ride is def more bumpy not smoother and no its not all the way to the hard settings its at 2 in the front and 3 in the back..........
But its a def improvement on blown shocks
Id still reccomend them though

I have them and I have no complaints. I have it on 3 all the way around and I'm afraid if I put them any stiffer I'll beat the **** out of my kidneys.

I have to agree with the masses here. I have KYB AGX's with GC coilovers and I really enjoy them. Yes, I have a bruised appendix and sore kidneys, but hey, I can live with that.

A few tidbits:
Setting 1: 100% Stock
Setting 2: 115%
Setting 3: 150%
Setting 4: 225%
Also, the adjuster changes compression AND rebound at the same time. Koni Yellows seem to have a better ride because their adjuster only controls rebound.
My personal experiences:
The ride is smoother, and bumpier at the same time.
Let me explain. It's smoother in that the body of the car isn't rocking all over the place.
But, because of the increased stiffness, when you hit a bump, the shock isn't absorbed as much.
So, you get a bump, but the body of the car remains under control. A smoother bumpy ride.
I generally run at 2f/3r, and I'm on H&R Sports. When I'm going on the twisties I crank it up to 3f/4r.
It's actually more comfortable on 2f/3r than it is on 1f/2r because at 1/2 the shocks don't have enough control over the body, and the stiffness of the springs takes control of the car, and jerks it all over the place.
