Default Koni Reds or KYB AGX??

Both are ride adjustable and I could get them them at the same price. I would get the Koni Yellows which are ride and height adjustable but it's not in my price range right now. Which would you guys prefer??

How much is your car dropped? I <U>think</U> the warranty for the KYB AGX's is void if you lower your car over 1.5 or 2 inches--&gt;something to check out.

Though I've never tried out the red's my AGX's work great. Ride is comfortable at 1 and kinda harsh on 4. good for track days.

Save up.

Get the Yellows. Trust me you won't regret spending the extra ~200

I would choose the reds well before the AGX's, but like everyone else is saying save up and get the yellows.

Well... I agree with everyone else...Save and get the yellows. If you wanna go all out, then get teins...(full coilover suspension for the street is just a touch overkill...but, hey, we're all a little crazy after all right?!)

Keep in mind when deciding between the two that reds are NOT externally adjustable from what I've heard. Which means that they must be taken out to be adjusted. (Anybody wanna confirm this?)

So...because of that, my vote goes to AGX's.

To adjust the reds the need to be completly removed from the car. So every time you need to do it its the time spent taking them out plus $ for a new alignment. AGXs are externally adjustable. GET THEM. Rick

For the price, KYB's Own! Adjustability is awesome too.

i like my agx's, but the adjuster thingy has a tendancy to break. i had mine in for like 3 months and one of them already broke. but for the money they are a good strut.

go to the kyb website and click on customer service. tell them that your dials broke and they'll send you new dials in 3-5 days. that's what i did on monday and i got the dials yesterday... great cutomer service! KYB

KYB AGX's are great. They can easily be adjusted so I adjust mine once in a while depending on how I want to drive. Easy to do, just takes a few seconds.

If you break any of the switches or ***** check https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=522683
