i like mine on my car they are very easy to adjust as well, from soft to firm. especially would help out alot if you have stiff springs.

Re: KYB AGX shocks/struts

i have stock springs on mine...do these shocks/struts improve handling at all? or are they just as good as stock?

Re: KYB AGX shocks/struts

they help a little bit, but i put sub frame connectors and the shocks in at the same time so there was a big improvement. you should get some springs when you get the shocks too. If you have saggy springs it might not help that much getting new shocks. i just bought hotchkis springs waiting to be installed as well as lower control arms and a panhard bar. hoping for a big improvement. good luck

Re: KYB AGX shocks/struts

I've had a few sets. They are great bang for the buck. Work well enough for the street. I've used them on stock WS6 and lowered IROC.

If you can afford the cost in get the Tokicos but its double the $$ which is why I went with the AGX. Bought some Eibachs with the $$ I saved
