Has anyone tried the KYB AGX adjustable shocks and struts? They are a bit cheaper than the Konis and Bilsteins. Are they worth it?

I have the AGX's on my 92 RS. They really did stiffen up the suspension. I drive with them set all the way up on the stiffest setting. The main difference that I noticed was when I was braking. The car doesn't dive nearly as much due to the stiffened struts.
As to whether they're worth the money or not, that's kinda hard to say. For the same amount of money you could get a STB, panhard rod, and SFC's and they would make a much more significant difference. The only reason that I got the AGX's was that I needed to replace my struts so I figured that I would go ahead and upgrade to the AGX's since I was already going to have to spend some money on struts.

their rear suspension is exactly the same. Only the outer part of the axle is about 2" wider on each side to put on the FWD offset wheels that all new cars have now.

I personally ran the 'bach Sportlines with KYBs and was very happy there...I dont think the Pro-kits make enough of a difference in ride height. But thats just my opinion.
