anyone using KYB AGX shocks and struts?

spike_africa · 04-03-2007, 11:40 AM

I am looking for a street/strip shock that will make my car handle well, but i can loosen the front alot for at the track. I heard from some posts and reveiws online that these are pretty good. There also not very exspensive at all, which is awsome for me

Because i wanna have my cars suspension pretty much done by the end of summer and all i need now is shocks.

So lets hear some experienced people with these shocks and struts.

I have them and I think they are fine. They aren't the best or anything, but for the price they are good. I haven't had any bad experiences yet. Wait till R3d sees this. He hates em. lol

I have the 8way adjustable KyB shocks in back and I like them.

not interested in coilovers at all. How do the struts work on the full loose setting?

grrrr... I dislike KYB in a big way. They just don't last. Yes I'm massively hard on suspension but that doesn't give them the right to call it a performance part. it's a stock replacement with too stiff a valving for stock and not enough valving for a performance application.

Bilstein, Tokico, Koni, stock. In that order. If you drag race only and don't carve corners too... broaden your horizons man.

i live in florida; we have no roads to carve at all. but I dont want to trash the cars handleing at all, infact i want it to stay the same if not get a bit better. But i also want to be able to loosen the front up for drag racing to get some better weight transfer.

Been reading up on tokico shocks and struts alot and they seem promessing. still looking at the AGX as i have read good things about them.
