Anyone use the KYB AGX?

[Sbaileyls1ta]

Didn't want to thread jack the spring to do list thread, but I'm going to go with the KYB AGX or the bilsteins. I'm torn for the fact that the KYBs are adjustable and are generally around the same price, but they are on rockauto right now and I can get all four with both front MOOG mounts for 450 shipped.. But on the other hand most people love the bilsteins and they have the lifetime warranty.. I mostly just cruise with the car, but I do drag race it occasionally... I also plan on cutting the factory springs up front if that makes a difference. Just wondering if anyone has some input.

Ya I got them. No adjustability in them. 8 is hard as rocks, 1 is clouds. 2-7 nothing different

Bilstein or koni yellows are the way to go imo

If u want kyb check kyboutlet.com. They occasionally have real good rebates too

[Sbaileyls1ta]

Hmm Yeah the only thing I'm considering is Right now with shipping the KYBs and moog mounts are $435. I got another 5%off on rock auto... So it'd be another $80-$100 or so for the bilsteins

I have them...get Koni's. They cost more because they are worth it.

[Sbaileyls1ta]

Not really interested in spending $1,000 on shocks... Are the koni STR.Ts better or comparable to the bilsteins? I've read a lot of mixed reviews on the KYBs, all pretty good reviews on bilsteins, and obviously everyone says koni yellows are the best, but I can't justify doubling the price for them.

[Sbaileyls1ta]

What about bilstein rears and the KYB's up front?

[Sbaileyls1ta]

Man, the worst part about this, is I know I'm just going to break down and buy Koni's. Literally everyone says they are the best.

[DanDalessandro]

Buy bilsteins. Konis are just the best. Bilstein HD are a couple steps below

That's because they are.
[MENTION=558]9T8W66[/MENTION] had them in his Formula. More than worth the cost.

Maybe you can find a used set on eBay for a little less.

Konis for $761.08

Agreed that the KYB adjustability is crap

Good find sir!

Seriously, any parts at all you are looking for type the number into Google and go to the shopping tab. I've easily saved $1000 on my build vs going with for example Strano. I'll spend more to support vendors I like if the price is competitive or if I had to contact them for advice, but otherwise shopping around will save lots.

I assume with my general driving, mostly cruising and occasional consumption of a ricer, that the rears being non adjustable on the car wont really be an issue?
Also, did I read the front konis have a lowering option as well? So I wouldn't need to cut the springs?

I have those same shocks on the car and I autocross it competitively. Especially for your use you would generally set it and forget it. Most people use the softest setting and some use the next one up. The front's have two different grooves for the spring perch. I would still recommend cutting stock springs over using the lower perch as that will gain some spring rate which you will need to avoid bottoming out.
