Re: KYB AGX front struts

Both struts are virtually brand new and work perfectly, only about 100 miles on each.

Re: Worth buying used ws6 springs?

I'm only considering weight jacks for the front of the car, just chose UMI as my first choice but if GC is better for my application then I'd go that route.
