KYB AGX Adjustable's -- anyone w/ experience?

I am soon going to be purchasing a set of KYB AGX Adjustable struts along with a set of springs...I am VERY curious on how well the KYB's perform, if anyone has them. They are adjustable but I am not too familiar with the adjusting process so this is another area I have questions about.

I'm also curious to hear of anyone that's got these installed. They're number 1 on my list.

I bought mine from the tirerack. They are by far the most friendly, fastest and have the best customer service I've experienced. So no members have these on their cars yet, huh? I'll be receiving mine on wednesday and should have them along with my new springs installed by the following wednesday (12.1.04) at the latest...I'll leave feedback when they're installed....anyone else?

Because they're adjustable Im wondering what settings I should set them to....guess I'll wait and see...

If you don't mind me asking, how much did they run you from TireRack? I agree, I've had nothing but good experiences with them. I was quoted, if I remember correctly, $440 shipped from ImportRP.com.

what about your settings on them? I've heard of only one person who set the backs at a 2 and fronts at a 6...? Not sure what is good for daily driving...our roads here in MO are pretty bad...in my opinion

there's one member on here with them. he just had a thread on the best way to enlarge the holes. i can't seem to copy the link over for some reason. just search that as a title of just PM him. he's the only one that i know of that has them for the 7thgen. i had them on my 95 accord with h&r springs and that was a pretty damn good combo. i would def. buy another set, but i'm already sittin on B&G coilover.

hey that was me

yea i have them on my Si hatch. but they are the ones made for the 7th gen regular civics. i have them paired with Spoon Progressive springs and so far so good. had them for a couple weeks. the adjustability is really great, not totally necessary but a good feature none the less. you can set it to 1 for daily driving or going out on a date or what not, and then crank it up to 3 or 4 for some spirited driving. right now i have them set on 2/1 F/R and it seems to suit my daily driving just fine. my car is also a couple hundred lbs heavier than the EM2 coupes so your ideal settings will most likely be different than mine but i think for the amount of money i spent on them i am very happy with their performance.

Thats awesome Im now very excited! Hopefully installing these paired with new springs will rid me of the bad suspension luck Ive been having as of late. So the lower the setting the more comfortable (daily driver) the ride quality is and the higher the setting the stiffer (race day) the ride is?

yes that is correct. which springs are you going to put these with? oh and watch out for messing up the tie rod ends. they are a pain in the butt if you mess them up and have to replace them

Oh...Im matching a set of Skunk2 Springs to them (~2.25" drop) so it should be pretty low....seems as though not many have the skunk2 springs..many have the sleeved coilovers...so Im interested in seeing if the drop really is that low and how good they are...
