KYB AGX Install Question

KYB AGX Install Question
For those of you that have these shocks installed, on the fronts do you have the shock mounted so the adjustment **** is facing in toward the center of the car or out toward the wheel? Just curious.

I just mounted my shocks yesterday and there was no way the **** would fit towards the inside due to the position of the lower mount bar. The mount bar needs to be slanted to fit properly in the lower control arm and when I tried to turn it with a screwdriver, it wouldn't budge.
My wheels are still off, maybe I'll take a picture later.

Here's a pic. (Never mind the nasty sway bar link, they're going to be replaced as soon as my back feels better today. )
As you can see, I had to remark the shocks for the NAPA guys because I thought the ***** went to the inside, but as you can also see, the mounting bar is slanted so that I could only mount them this way.

Just finished up with the little stuff on my KYB AGX install. Like mentioned above, even with the adjustment **** mounted toward the wheel, it's still easy to change simply by turning the wheels full lock. Actually the rears are harder to adjust than the fronts. I think Koni has the better idea with the **** on top of the strut.
Anywho, not to hijack a thread (but I guess I'm doing it anyway ), since everyone in this thread has them and can give a REAL opinion, how do you like them? What do you have them set on? I only went for a short test drive, went with 4 in front, 5 rear and I like them a LOT better than the stockers.

If you don't feel like going to thread, here's a quick opinion...for the money, I'm satisfied and they're WAY better than stock.

I just installed mine today with Strano springs and there was no way to mount mine with the **** facing the wheel. The bar at the bottom is angled in a way as to make it only fit one way. It sounds like to me that maybe the early ones were the opposite way?
Anyway I broke one of the swaybar end links in the rear putting everything back together so it will be tomorrow before I finish. With the Stranos in the front and the stock springs in the rear the front set REAL REAL low...I am hoping once I get it back on the ground with the Stranos in the rear too it will bring the nose up a little (do to the angle...or rake.)

I've got all four Strano's installed and the 2 front AGX's - it's definitely a big improvement over stock. I like the adjustability of the shocks and we all know the name on the springs speaks for itself. It is a great combination. I'll have the rear AGX's purchased and installed hopefully in the coming week. For anyone that is 'on the fence' as to whether or not you should go with these shocks - they are well worth the money.
