Oh and i have got prices on both and the kyb's are like 300 less then the yellows! So What do you guys think??

KYB AGX's are dampening adjustable only... 4 way front, 4way rear for most applications (8 way rear for some)..
Koni Yellows are dampening adjustable and height adjustable via spring perches.. you would have to remove the strut/spring combo everytime you wanna change the height... it's not like coilovers where you just remove the wheels, reach in with the special wrench and turn.

The Yellow Koni's are pretty good
I've got them with H&R springs
No complaints out of me.
As Juggs said the height adjustability is a bitch but its there if you want it.
adjustability i think is more than an inch but not much more.

IM DEBATING THIS SAME THING!!!! Yellows or AGX...from what ive heard both are good for the money...so basically it comes down to money....
just recently there was a group buy for KYB AGXs for $600 right?
and well the Yellows are $1000 Or a LITTLE less...
If you got the $$$ get the yellows...Ill probably get the AGX though...

buy koni's!
i've got a 95 integra ls, dropped with eibach sportlines, which i think aren't so bad, but a little on the stiff side-plus my back-end had some terrrible water jugs/squeeking noises due to the shitty shocks and bushings..
i wasn't happy with the ride w/ stock shocks so, 2 weeks later, i purchased KYB AGX'S (which are 4 way adjustable) "from street to strip" as i was told that they were the best bang for the buck
with the shocks, i purchased polyurethane bushings since i needed new ones because they seized.
i've had this setup since july and with this setup, i was impressed, but somewhat regret buying the sportlines/kyb combo. the ride's still to stiff for everyday driving and i can still feel every little bump. also, the noises aren't totally gone from the rear.
CONCLUSION- IF I WERE YOU, I'D INVEST IN KONI'S
also, what springs are you using? if you haven't bought them yet,
CHOOSE H&R INSTEAD OF EIBACH!

Really all depends on what you want to do.
If you're dropping less than 2" the KYBs are excellent and are more than enough to suit your purposes.
Koni Yellows are really good. Perferred for competition use more than the KYBs.
I myself have a set of KYBs because the dampening is a little more easier to be accurate with than the Konis

The KYBs are superb. Adjustable, and really solidify the ride. Never rode on Konis, though.
One of the TCC sponsors may sell them or they may be another group buy soon. If not, I can HIGHLY recommend *** Imports in the States. Great price and amazing customer service. I have no personal involvement with ***, BTW

If you're looking for KYB's, I know a place that is pretty cheap. My brother just got a set for his car a few days ago. Costed him approx $70 each for the front and $90 each for the rear. I think labour to install them was about $150. That was for a 92 Teg. I asked about my EG, and they said it's around the same price, give or take a few bux. Oh yeah, that's for the non adjustable ones. But when you think about it, do you really need adjustable ones for a daily driver? Don't think so. Some of you may already know of them. Elite Auto on Midland between Finch and McNicoll. Ask for Raymond.
