tokico blues are more like OEM replacement. Tokico whites are a better choice...i say again...if one thing on your deserves to be well done, its your suspension so never cheap out on it. i would hold off every other mod to get a good suspension.

if you are going lower than 1.5in dont get the tokico blues or the kyb gr-2 they only warranty up to that drop...i currently have neuspeed race springs and gr-2s the ride isnt bad but it could be a lot better, springs are soft on my car the person who owned it before me drove on 19 year old factory struts..all 4 were blown when i changed them....but im probably gonna raise my car back up to probably 1.5 - 2in drop cause the exhaust can and has scraped, im probably gonna go with tien s-techs with the gr-2 and when they blow going for a full coilover....oh and to answer your question, no the adjustment on the AGX is for the damper, it will not lower your car more, it will adjust stiffeness/softness of the shock for ride quality purposes on track/street....stiff for track softer to tolerate daily driving...
