HOLY SHIT! Pick this up IMMEDIATELY.

$315 plus shipping $40, so for $360 you can have all 4 KYB AGX struts.


Then pick you up some H&R springs or somethign to go with it. Try something new.

Damn.
Thanks, I searched for like 2 hours online and couldn't come up with deals like that. How do you do it? LOL.

Does anyone have the AGX's? How would I want to adjust them? I am seriously considering getting those ones. Rather buy those for 350 than the GR2s for 200. But the eibach's at 500 are too much. Wish I could find some eibachs at around 300.

The KYB's are just OEM replacements. They have the same quality, same everything. The Eibach Spring/KYB strut combo works, but it is a bit noisy, and doesn't have the response rate that the Eibach struts do.


I don't know how much better the Eibachs dampers are compared to the KYB GR2 because I haven't used Eibachs, BUT I have used the Eibach springs with OEM struts (brand new) and they SUCKED ROCKS, really, the Eibachs with OEMs were undrivable, on the oposite, the GR2 do a good job, they are not superb, but they perform acceptably.
Don't forget the GR2 are gas charged whilst the OEMs are just oil, so there is a big difference just by their proporties. Again, I am not argueing that Eibachs are not better than GR2, I just don't want people to think that OEM pos is even near the performance of GR2's.

On a side note, I think Eibach springs are VERY progressive, and that's why it is hard for a damper to perform even close to it's matched brand dampers; but GR2 perform much better with H&Rs than they do with Eibachs, I think that's because H&R are not that progressive and ride is a little harsher than Eibachs.

what is better about the agx's than the gr2's? i don't autox or race or anything, so it would be primarily for street driving.
i've read on some reviews that after about a year they lose their adjustability..

so, are agx's basically adjustable gr2's? i don't want to pay money for the adjustability factor, i could really care less, i don't race enough to.

Hey zoned, are you runing on Eibach springs? From the top of my head I'd say I've seen that you do in some thread.... idk... if you do the GR2 are going to perform "ok".
If you are in the market for springs also, the GR2 make a better match to the H&Rs.

They are pretty decent for every day driving; the thing I don't like about them is that they are on the limit of bouncyness when you get to corners fast and encounter a bump, but as I say they are still within the acceptable limit; so for what you say you will use them, they should be more than OK, I have a set in my car I've had installed for 2 years mated to H&Rs on my Tib and they are still performing very well.

damper adjustability on the agxs...

youd be hard pressed to find the actual valve specs on the two to compare. just go with the kybs.
