Id have to say that you'll notice an even bigger difference by going to some Koni SAs. People who haven't ridden in a car with them just don't understand... The car goes from a boat to a well tuned sports car. It is the BEST MOD you can do in terms of your suspension.

To the original poster, you might be able to find decarbons easily on this site. Just go to the for sale section and you might get lucky and find a low millage set. Many people don't put them up for sale because they don't think people want them. I'm sure if you ask in parts wanted you can get some cheap.

Given what's around these days, the AGX's are my second choice behind Koni's. I can't say they are a *close* second, but I do feel they are better than most of the alternatives and a large reasons is because you can tweak the damping to make the best ride/handling for your tastes.

This is why I've started stocking them. I've always sold them, but these days I sell more because the shocks "around" them in price and performance have all but disappeared.
