I enjoy my set of agx's. Might go with some tein coilover set-up next season.

On the number 1 setting driving is real smooth on 4 its well, rugged. BTW Im running 330/400.

Just put them on and if you dont like them take em off.

i my AGX, they are simple and work well for people who like daily driving comfort. i personally dont understand why people get full coilovers that are like 64 way adjustable for daily driving

64 way is uncalled for. Thats like 1.0, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.50, 2.75, 3,...64. LOL

Wonder how low my car is going to sit. Oh well, I'm just gonna have to find out. I tried doing the work today, but I snapped the damn bolt on the rear lower control arm. Now I have to get it out somehow. Any tips on getting those rusted bolts out without snapping them? I was thinking about heating them.

That is the same setup I will be running in a few weeks. Install them and tell us how they ride. I really can't wait to get my **** together and put these on.

I installed them and the car rides and handles awesome! I have them set on 2. I'm going to have fun with the rest of the levels later. Car isnt slammed or nothing, but rides and handles awesome!

That is what my 97 DX coupe is riding on right now. It dropped about an inch to an inch and a 1/4. I have it set on 2 in front and 4 on rear, rides pretty good. Used to have neuspeed race springs on my 93 CX hatch and that was pretty hard ride. Good luck guy

the agxs are one of the best consumer struts that aren't a full coil-over you can't beat for the price and durability

do the AGX adjust like Koni's? are the AGX adjustable at the top of the shocks or adjusted from a different position? I am looking into purchasing a set and pairing them up w/ Eibach Sportlines. Anyone running that setup?

That's kind of expensive. Was that an installed price or something? They run $350 shipped at Coximport.com.


I have them on my 94 hatch and like them. I have them set at 2f 3 r.

I've got the same setup on my 93 hatchy (1 in front, 4 in the rear) and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Oh well on the price. I guess I got **** ripped. I got them set on 2F and 3R. Mine are adjustable from the top, but they also have the side adjustables to.

AGX with pro kits =

I have them set a 3 F. and 7 R. and it rides and handles great on the street

although sometime I wish the setup was a little stiffer at max setting.


$480

I paid only $320 before they raised the prices. Where did you buy them? For a little more you could have gone with some Koni Yellows.

Every set of Koni Yellows I've installed has begun leaking within a month. I've never installed a faulty set of KYB AGX's and I think they're every bit as good as yellows (I've driven hard on both).
