Default how good are the KYB AGX shocks

anyone ridding on the KYB AGX adjustables , how do u like them, my car is a 01 SS procharged , ridding on M/T 295/45/R17 D/R's

i want a shock the will respond and help the car hook. I know the Koni's are suspose to be the best , i hear the single adjustiable konies are great, but thay are $1000

for $90 each the KYB's sound pretty good, but how are they for street driving ?
my car is only used for some street crusing and street draging.
but will be putting down 650-700 RWHP

please let me know what you think about these shocks, how they feel and work
thank you

There are better more expensive adjustables but for the money I like mine. You can dial them up high if you want to try some autocross, you can dial them softer like middle for decent street ride. You can dial front soft and back firmer even split setting on the back shocks at track.
I have them on both my 99 and my 96z.
You shouldn't do much more than a one inch drop with them. Think they say that in the instructions. I had slp eibach with about one inch drop on my 99 and hotchkis with one inch on my 96z. They worked ok. I went back to stock height for various reasons main one being our roads.
