Default Have your KYB AGX struts gotten soft after 1+ years?

So I have had both the AGX and the GR-2 struts (different cars), and I have noticed that they are great when they are new.
However after about a year or so they get soft, and I find my self turning up my AGXs up a #. I am not a dumbass and this is not in my head. They are gas/NO2 struts and that gas can leak out so.

Are yours doing the same thing after at least a year? I don't care if its lowered or not.

Had my AGX/H&R sport combo for just under 2 years now. If they've gotten any softer, I can't tell.

depends on how you drive on it.. I've been riding on my GC/AGX combo for about a year on FULL FIRM, I've noticed it got a teeny bit softer, but nothing major.. I love the AGX's...

i have agx's, ive had them set as stiff as they can go for 20k + miles and they seem to be doin ok but i probably wouldnt be able to tell if they got a little softer. I heard they do get soft after a while though but i dont know, they dont seem to be getting softer but i guess i could be wrong, who knows.

i love the ride though

I had GR-2's on for about a year and blew all four struts...

I then bought Tein SS and no problems now
