Default Anyone against KYB's....

I need shocks pretty bad and the Bilsteins would hurt a little right now. Any one against KYB's? How much better are they compared to stock?

haha, they still have you shook up about buying the monroe's huh? he's right though, most people will only tell you to get one of the two. i've had my KYB AGX set for something close to a year and only have good things to say about them. night and day difference in handling. i say it would be hard to beat for the price. just a heads up...some people have had problems with them on lowered cars so if you're lowered, i'd probably steer clear.

I have a set of KYB GasAJusts that I'm not using (upgraded to Koni SA's). I don't know how well they'd perform on stock springs, but they were too soft for the Hotchkis springs.

I'll sell them to you for $75 + shipping (front and rear, with all hardware).

na its not what i bought i had many post when i was actually planning on doing my shocks/struts when i changed my springs but every post was people hanging on koni and blistiens ***** . People dont realize everyone has different views on handling and what they want to do with the car. This whole section can be locked and closed just put a post on how to install and that koni with strano springs are the only things these cars should be equipped with and you can sum up this section

I have an 02 ws6 t/a, with KYB AGX adj shocks front and rear. The car is lowered an inch and a half. I leave off the transbrake on a 150 shot, and have cut consistent 1.37-1.45 on M/T Drag radials 325/50/15. Hope this helps. and they also hook well on the street too
