kyb agx struts
need to get something new, don't want to go coilovers. I know how gb2's feel like and i enjoy the feel of them, just want a little adjustability.
thanks for your thoughts.

Snatch those suxors up. Kyb AGXs are supposed to be awesome. They're supposed to be fully adjustable as well, not just a little. KYB GR2 feeling on a KYB AGX is supposed to be setting 2. The AGXs goes to setting 10.
So sayeth my friend who put them on on his old non-tiburon car.

Theyre damn expensive, always have been. If I were going to go with anything near that much I would get regular coilovers for a couple hundred more and have even more adjustability.

I have these.
The adjustability goes to 4, not 10.
There is a post on here which tells the hardness of each setting (relative to factory) that I made awhile ago when I got these.
Honestly though, the adjustability really isn't that great. How often do you want to adjust your shocks? Maybe once in awhile for a long road trip, or if you're going to be doing hard driving. I thought it would be really awesome, but after having them for almost a year now, they haven't really been that useful. And for daily driving I don't like going more than the 2 or 3 setting.

i saw your post on them zoned last nightafter some searching but didn't know if these were a good buy at that price. when i searched other places all they ever said was call for a price. I want something with a little adjustability, just not a ton as i will still use this one of these days as a DD wehen i gert the 1/2 car worth of car parts out of my apartment,lol. almost cried today when i came home from work and rolled over 44k on the speedo.
you remember what you paid for your AGX's zoned? your suspension setup with the front /rear sway bars and the drop springs is exactly what i have coming.

I think I paid like $350 or 400.
That's a decent price, the price I got was the best I've EVER seen them, I doubt you'd find them for that though.
Adjusting them is really easy, you could do all 4 in under 10 minutes, I'm just not sure how often you will actually use the adjustability. I thought I would use it way more than I did.
What are some others you've been considering?

just the gb2's was really the only one. it's getting harder and harder to find people that make stuff for our cars. anyone else you could recommend? price truthfully is not a concern but i just don't see a need for coilovers.
