Default love for the EF? how much is it worth

Hey guys, I've got a dilemma. My rex is still rollin' on stock suspension. Should I fork out $600 for koni yellows and be broke or $150 for a set of used KYB agx? I know quality, but is the price difference worth it? I plan on autocrossin' and roadracing so I'm caught on how to spend the money. Should I show mad love for the EF and spoil with koni's or be cheap and get AGX. Both are going to be sitting with Eibach sportline springs. WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS DO!?

what 's so bad about AGX's?
I have heard good things about them.

Are koni yellows adjustable like the AGX?

I agree with everyone else. The Yellows are nice shocks. It's nice to put something on your car and know it will handle anything you can throw at it, or it will be replaced for free.

$476 is about what I got them for 6 months ago you might be able to find them cheaper.

I got mine at www.diabloautosports.com , I picked them up so I dont know about shipping, or maybe www.shox.com because they say they will beat any price. Good luck and they are worth money imho.

Id just get springs, then later on get shocks. Honda suspension isnt hard at all to work on. And after you take off the stock springs, you wont need a spring compressor ever again.
