WHICH is better KYB AGX? OR GR2?

I'm looking to get KYB shocks, but what's the difference between the AGX's and the GR2's?

AGX are adjustable and GR2 are non adjustable. Therefore AGX are superior. THere ya go now go clean your room..

I guess i would say the agx are better since the are adjustable, but it all depends wat you want out of it and the purpose of it, if u just want to use it as a daily driver and don't think u will change ur setting, then the cheaper gr2 will be fine. Otherwise, the agx is my choice

AGX's are nice, if you can swing it drop in a set of Koni Yellows.

well more work is going into the car first thing spring, so i guess having the option of adjustable shocks would be better?

I'm on 16's now, and got 205/16/45's on the car, with it dropped just slightly above the top of the tires.

well the prokit isn't really a drop at all.

I'd go with H&R sport with AGX, or Koni Yellow if you can swing the cash.

Or even Progress springs, those are berry toight too

2" I think. A little lower then most Sport springs.

Personally I think the H&R Sport and Koni Red combo cannot be beat for the price and ride. The Reds are also slightly adjustable for height and the damping rate can be set prior to them being installed.

I have sportlines and AGX 4-ways.

Setting on 3.

With 195/55/15s, rides like a regular car and handles very well.

With 205/40/17s rides pretty hard (cuz of the low profile) and handles like it's on rails.

1.5 inches and 1.3 inches.
anything passed 1.8 is considered race.

prokit is slightly lower then oem visually looking at it.
