Default KYB AGX Decision

Well I've searched every Integra site to help me decide between the KYB AGX's and Koni Yellows to go with my Comptech springs. I think have decided to go with the AGX's...mainly because I never plan to auto-x and I keep reading that KYB's are great shocks for the $. I wasn't able to find a few things so I was hoping you guys might be able to help.

From what I have read, it seems that changing the settings on Koni Yellows will adjust the ride height +- .5". Does this also hold true for the AGX's as well since they are adjustable?

The cheapest I have seen AGX's sell for is $340 at coximports.com. Anyone know any place that sells them at a better price?

$340 is a resonbale price .. because i got mine around $90 a piece, and KYB is the right way to go, and as far as the adjustable goes, i think they work as well as the koni ... but then somebody is going to prove me wrong anyway, try http://www.groupbuycenter.com

Koni's have more fine tuning ability (the yellows) and are rebuildable. The AGX's are not. but i have AGX's cause of price. If i blow them, i'll get koni's

KYB's sound like the shock for your setup. Enjoy them.

no probs here with my KYB's. I have noticed something strange though, but it might be in my head. Sometimes after I soften them up they feel nice and comfy, then after a month or so like that they get kinda rough. So I stiffen them again and they ride better, then after a few days I soften them back up and they ride nice again...I really have no clue as to why, but it really doesn't bother me anyway.

if youre not going to autox then why get the kybs. If i were in your place i would get the kyb gr2s or tokico blues. They are cheaper and will be fine for a daily driver.
