Default KYB AGX's in and THEY @#&*% ROCK!!!!

Thanks for all the advice from everyone who post replies to my questions. I just got the shocks in with a new set of bushings and the car feels like new and handles like never before. I haven't even tried dialing them in yet and I can't believe the difference!

Tanks again!

How much should someone expect to pay for these shocks/struts?

I checked Ebay and found the whole set to be anywhere from $250 to $280. Can these be had for cheaper? Thanks!

AGX are the first set of replacement shocks I've put in so I'm not really sure which are best. but from what I've read for the money you can't go wrong. We'll see how it goes. All I know is the car drives like new, and that's all I can ask for.

I just had the bushings replaced with OEM bushings, Poly bushing are too stiff for a daily driver. I think they were about $70(Cdn) installed. I think it's made a big diff in the handling. The car feels tight.

I got the struts for $675 (cdn) and install was $450(cdn) with new bushing and wheel alignment. I gotta move my *** to the states! parts are cheeeeeaaaaap! oh well, who needs to eat, right?

I had some integra illuminas on my front before i switched over to the civic AGXs.

With both set to 2, i wouldn't be able to tell a difference. They both ride equally "nice," since i can't really describe it any other way.

BTW, i bought mine from ebay, the seller's name was "sparkplugssource"

The shocks were 276 shipped, with LIFETIME WARRANTY. the warranty card states that the warranty is only a year or two (i forget), but this guy will give you lifetime. I don't really want to go into specifics, but i actually visited his shop, and he was a really nice guy to deal with.
