KYB AGX Shocks

[jamesA]

Good for a slightly modded Si? Yes no?

I got some ebay coilovers and I'm going to drop the car no more than 1.5".

I hear good then bad then good then bad again on KYBs.

70 bucks a piece isn't bad?

Pros? Cons?

How about the KYB GR2s?

 

[phunky.buddha]

I loved my AGXs.

70 each is an awesome price, but are you buying used? You can get them for about $320-340 shipped new for a set.

GR-2s are only about 15% stiffer than stock, so for higher spring rates, they won't last too long. I'm still happy with all my GR-2 cars though. If you can afford the AGXs, get them.

 

[Somnambulist]

AGX's are a good starter shock I suppose. I have always heard Koni are better. I prefer full coilovers. But I have heard good things about the AGXs. I'd definitely go for em over the non adjustable GR-2s.

I mean full coilovers aren't really that expensive are they? Omnipower, Ksport, etc. are around $800.

 

[jamesA]

This'll be my first suspension setup. I'm not ready to blow 800+ on koni yellows and GCs... that's the setup I really would like to try. Yeah... ok, send links of Koni's and GCs for 300 blah blah. lol

I have ebay coilovers for 50 and I bought the GR2s for 282. I'll see how they do.

I just want to get the car lowered. Don't need the best for now.

the AGX are a great shock. i've been running my set for almost 5 years now.

 

[phyregod]

I ran a set on my EG. Loved 'em.

 

[reikoshea]

on my friend's CRX now. makes it feel like a new car (thank god...my back was starting to hurt)

 

[CRX-YEM]

I must say I'm really happy with my AGX's w/ neuspeed sport springs

 

[phyregod]

^^ Same setup I had. Best suspension I've had the pleasure of owning.

 

[92CHB]

I have them on my hatch with tanabe gf210 springs and love'em too!

 

[posol]

honestly, i'd keep the stock springs with the upgraded shocks over 'ebay' coilovers.

your ride is going to be bouncy

 

[eg6sir]

eBay coilover sleeves FTL!

 

[phyregod]

Neuspeed springs: $200.
KYB AGXs: $350
Add a couple of sway bars and an few energy suspension bushings in choice locations: $250.
(Choice locations being everything that touches the sway bars, and the rear trailing arm bushings at minimum.)

Great suspension for $800. entirely "doable"

(you thought this was going to be a mastercard ripoff, didn't you)

 

[jamesA]

We'll see. Really didn't want to spend 800 on my suspension right at this moment. I got nothin but time with my car, I'll rip it back out if I don't like them.

 

[CRX-YEM]

Neuspeed springs: $200.
KYB AGXs: $350

Do the busings at a latter point in time. but I'd go with the springs and shocks for now

 

[phyregod]

noone said it all had to be done at once.

 

[eg6sir]

noone said it all had to be done at once.

i'm piecing mine together..

Bushings first!

noone said it all had to be done at once.

Yes you do. It's a HondaSwap commandment. Read the FAQ.

 

[CRX-YEM]

well yeah you could do the bushings first

 

[jamesA]

Well what'd ya know. Came home to take a shitter and my KYBs were chillen' out on the front porch.

Got a knock on the door while I was shittin' and the mailman dropped off my coilover kit.

Good timing. We'll see just how bouncy the car gets here in a few weeks.
