Strut opinions

I am not sure which struts to get. Does anybody know anything about the adjustable AGX (KYB) struts. The Lakewood 90/10 is another strut I was considering getting for my 89 iroc. However, the adjustable AGX may work great, but I would like to hear from others who may have them on theirs cars.

Or maybe their are another brand that others may perfer.

Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks

what are you planning on doing with the car? the 90/10 struts should only be used on a track only car, if you are wanting to street drive it, i would go with 70/30, and then it is still going to be a straight-line suspension. if you are going for track only, the AGX will not be want you wont, they aren't going to adjust to give you the weight transfer of a 90/10 struf.

The car is going to see some track time; however, it will mainly be a street car.

well the sturts you listed are two entirely diffrent beasts. if you are looking for descent handling, then the AGX would be a good choice, if you are looking for straight-line tractino, a drag shock, like the lakewood 70/30 or 60/40 would be the way to go, IMHO 90/10 struts shouldn't be used on the street.
