Installed KYB AGX's today
 

Well, I have been riding around on blown stock shocks for too damn long so I finally decided to shell out the dough for some new shocks. I decided to go with the AGX's because I liked the idea of adjustability and they are probably the cheapest adjustables around. I found an awesome deal on egay, I got all 4 for $305, they are usually around $85 each, so that was good. Well, the project started yesterday, but wouldn't you know it, I broke a damn bolt off in one of the rear shocks, tried to drill itout to no avail, so I had to take my whole lower control arm to the machine shop to get it fixed, they only charged me $5. SO I finished the install today after work and I think I am quite pleased. I have them set on #4 for now, I'll see how I like the ride then adjust them later. I was kinda bummed to see that the rear shocks for my civic didn't have the little adjustable knob on the bottom, its in the top of the shock like in front, but oh well. Anyone else running these? I also have Tanabe Super Down Precedeo springs. Feels like a good setup, but we'll see when I go road carving.

Haha, I rode on blown stock shocks forever. I always wanted to buy some KYB's or Toxico's, but there was always a motor/turbo part I wanted more. I'm curious to see how they handle for you. I think I looked at that same auction on egay, but passed it up. :-\

Picts?

Re:Installed KYB AGX's today
 

You want pics of the shocks or how the car sits? Or both. I went out tonight in my other car and I was parked behind my Civic and you could see the very bottom of the shocks with the headlights on. 2 little red shackles underneath the car. I'm sure they won't be that bright red for long. I'll get some pics tomorrow.

Don't bust on my Pilot Motorsports Rear lower tie bar. I bought that ---- on egay like 4 years ago. I've been meaning to take the damn sticker off but I never get around to it.

HAHAHAHAH.. i broke both my rear bolts off.. i'm using the AGX's too on my teg. they're damn stiff, even on the softest setting.. for mine though, i ended up using a die grinder to cut the old shocks off and since the bushings were rusted solid, i used a torch to burn them out, then i went to the race shop and found some pieces of UHMW polyethylene and a 10mm ID stainless tube and made new bushings. slapped new bolts on and it was good to go.. did you make sure to coat those bolts with anti-seize before you put them back together? makes it a helluva lot easier should you ever have to take them apart again....

i actually really like them though. some of the roads around here are kind of ripply, so the car bucks on some of them, but on the softest setting, it's bearable.. i think i got the same deal as you.. it was like $305 for all 4.

Are those 15 inch wheels with low pro's?

Re:Installed KYB AGX's today
 

Ummmmmm, no. They are 17" Konig Absolutes with 215/40/17 tires. You actually think 15's would fill up the well like that?
