I have found some new KYB AGX shocks and struts for 399.00 shipped. Does anybody body have anything good or bad to say about these?



Thanx

I run them, they are decent for the price

that's what i use, and they work good for me. i haven't really messed aroud with tuning them, right now they are on the middle setting (#2 front, #4 rear). when i did them, i also upgraded my springs to the racing beat set.



good shocks for the price, much cheaper than the tokico illumina sets. i'd recommend them.

hey order those from the nopistons store. its worth the extra $46 to support the site

when i first got them out of the box I pushed and pulled on them, adjusting the different settings and there is definatley a huge different from 1 to 4. 1 you can compress and expand, but it takes some force, 2 is almost impossible to push,but you can do it, and 4 is a brick.



i guess that means it does what it says it does? They've worked well for me.

im planning on going with those same shocks as soon as i get the more important stuff done, although i might just get the stock mazda ones

i actually want to (when i can afford it) do the full kyb agx suspension setup, when i can afford it. for the price, it seems to be my best bet, and i'll be able to buy it straight from here. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I am running KYB AGX's up front and they work like a champ considering my rear struts are the factory ones that probably come off the assembly line, maybe not. It handles 10 times better. I can't wait for the money to do the rear struts, and do a H&R spring setup. Suspension **** first, and new brakes and rotors so I can STOP! Heh.



Yeah, go with KYB AGX's, they are good for the price. Plus they give you cool stickers and the little adjustable screwdrivers. And they come in red. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I did that also. I was amazed.



And another thing I forgot to mention. They are adjustable, oh yes, and another. The rear struts for the KYB's are 8 way adjustable.



I have only messed around with 2 different settings. The first and second setting. No difference. I can take turns going 65 now, instead of going 40 like I use to. And hairpin turns, and I mean ******* hairpins, I can take 45 instead of having to go 20. Just my experiences.

I use them in my TII for Autocrossing ( 2 on front 1 in rear) and Road Course (4 in front 6 in rear) they are some nice shocks that will serve you well.



If there are better shocks out there (which I hear there are) I am amazed I cannot imagine it being better than this.

What about coilovers?

You could also do that. I have only seen stuff on rotaryextreme.com. And that was HKS Hiper Coilovers and some other coilovers.



But coilovers would probably cost more than it was to purchase my car.

I like them.. 3 years with no probs, great for the price

Ground Control Coil overs - 400# front 275# rear. Camber plates and rear camber link - dont forget the rear toe eliminators either.



I am using Racing Beat Front and Rear sway bars wirh adjustible end links too for preloading.

thats about the settings we run too. we run it softer on the roadracing tracks then you, but we have softer springs too

What about the K2RD coilover set?



Anyone heard anything about those?

yep, been running them for years. its basically an update/redesign of the gc stuff

I resurrected this thread to aks you all some querstions...



The KYB AGX kit I am looking out says it is NOT for adjustable suspension (like my GXL has)...



The part numbers are 733013 and 733012 up front and 741025 X2 in the rear. Can I use these and just forfeit the use of my adjustable suspension? Or are they just not compatible?



Also, I am hustling to get my seven back together and titled for a trip to Deal's Gap/The Dragon 318 turns in 11 miles of highway blah blah blah... What setting do you recommend for such a heinous onslaught of hills, bumps and turns? For now I have stock springs ( cannot afford the Eibach's I want right now right now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... )



Thanx for the help...

you have to remove the auto suspension crap to get the agx's (or any other shock) to work

How difficult is that??? Do I only have to remove the electronic stuff or the mechanical stuff?

The actuator sits on top of the OEM struts. Unplug the electrical connection for the actuator. Remove the actuators, then the struts. Install the new struts. Done. The rears are the same. There are only two bolts that hold in each actuator.

Throw away that crap.

Almost all of the aftermarket adjustable shocks will blow the stock crap away.





Get this crap off the road.

You don't tune suspensions on the fricken street.

If you do crash, please don't hurt anyone else.
