Default Need a definative answer/opinion on KYB AGX's.

I got some Ground Control coilovers. I need to know about KYB AGX adjustables. Someone I know said they sucked **** on his Nissan Maxima. So far the only opinion I have heard about them is a negative one. Does anyone actually have any experience with these shocks on a Integra? Do they really suck? I got a good price on them and I'm considering buying them today. Are they a good matchup with the GC coilovers? Thanks!!

I am a Nissan Owner also, I have a 1994 senrta SE-R and Everyone I talk to say Ground control and KYB-AGX is the way to go. I am getting this set up for my sentra in the late winter or early spring.... Where are you getting a good deal on the KYB's?
I am not sure how good they are for the Integra, but if they match up well with the GC for the SE-R community so well, I can't imagine them being bad for the integra. my $.02

They don't make em for the Maxima last time I checked. If you're referring to the cattman coilover system for the Maxima, that uses a ground control/kyb agx setup, with agx's for a mitsu eclipse. The ones I've ridden in rode well.

I have had mine on for 2 years now,I absolutely love them.
Originally I had bought the ground control "coilovers" aka sleeve over shock,with the spring rates at 325 fronts 350 rear and the ride set on "1" on the shock.It was pretty decent not too bone shattering,but stiff enough.

One thing-make sure the springs you are ordering are at least 8" in height for the fronts..the rear will be fine with an 8
Reason is if you get a 7" spring the car will not raise any higher on the threaded sleeve it will be on the uppermost thread and the car will sit really low, so get a taller spring trust me.

Until recently I have replaced the sleeves and springs with some ITR springs along with the KYB's,this is an awesome setup,cars need suspension travel,I was tired of entering corners and hitting imperfections in the road.

Good luck

you can actaully feel the difference in the damper when you adjust them,unlike some other adjustable shocks on the market
If you are referring to the KYBs, i can feel a difference in just 1 setting w/ my AGXs.
