konis can be revalved for any spring rates, costs anywhere from $90-120 per shock though

I have AGXs, really like them, also heard lots of people liking the Tokico adjustables.

My AGXs are damn stiff on the stiffest setting. I'm running them w/ skunk2 drag launch springs in the back and them on the stiffest setting. I didn't have the revalved and they seem to do really well. The only squat in the rear of the car is a slight flex in the tire sidewall.
