Default Installed KYB AGX shocks today.

There the 8 postion adjustable gas shocks, I have them set at number 5 ( I'll try 6 at another time ) right now. The car rides much more firmer now then with the stock shocks.

If you have a slight tire rub these shocks might be a good alternative to rolling your fenders.

I have those shocks they seem to work out pretty well. They handle really well on the higher numbers but ride very harsh.

I have only been to the track once since these shocks were installed, i cut some horrible 60's but i was running drag radials and my lowering springs are way to stiff. I have since bought a set of et streets and i am changing the springs out, so i will know shortly. I can say that the weight transfer with the backs set way soft and the fronts on a harder setting seemed to be very good.

I had the front set on the hardest and the rear set on the softest with a set of DR on the back and I guess it worked really well cause I snapped my tranny and the rearaxle at the same time I liked the way they felt on my street tires. But the track just got a little to much grip.
