kyb agx (again)

i found this post in a thread and it was unanswered.

i am about to install a set fo used agx in my car and compared to the decarbon's i just pulled out its like night and day with the compression rate and return rate... agx can be compressed with one hand, and take a long time to return... and the decarbons need 2 hands and quite a bit of force to compress and return in 5 seconds. can anyone explain this?

Also, I think since they're single adjustible the adj. **** only adjust the rebound, not the compression dampening.

Somebody, Please correct me if I'm wrong!

They adjust compression and rebound with the same ****. That's part of the reason why you can't get them to act the same as konis.

They are single acting (one ****) double adjustable (the **** effects both sides of the damping).
