Best rear shock choice - Bilstein HD or KYB AGX Adjustable? I'm wanting to get new rear shocks and I'm not sure which ones to buy. I heard Bilstein HDs are good and the KYB AGX adjustables are good. Does anyone out there have these parts or know someone with these parts? I need help. I don't want to buy the shocks then regret not buying the other. If you could help me, I would really appreciate it.

Pretty much everyone here will tell you Bilstein out of those choices. I have KYB GasAJust shocks on my car and they're OK, but not really much better than stock. From what I've read, the adjustability of the AGX shocks doesn't do much for them. I'm saving up for better, like re-valved Bilsteins or Koni SA's.

I found the Bilsteins a bit harsh with my Hotchkiss springs.
I took them off after about 100 miles and went with air
shocks; these seem to have adequate control and somewhat
smoother ride quality (and I wanted to lift the rear a bit
after the drop, for looks).
PM me if you are interested in the rear pair, I'm prepared to
be very reasonable.
