I'm using Ground Control's with KYB AGX's lowered 2.5" and the ride is very nice. I've been using this setup (and driving agressively on it, middle settings usually) for about a year. No problems so far.

I have the AGX on my Integra with Eibach Pro-Kit and it rides pretty nice. It actually rides better with my friend's 18's then my 17's. Can someone explain that to me? But like someone said before, it would be better if you can adjust the rebound and compression seperately.

Re: KYB AGX's

Just purchased new set of KYB AGX for 200 bills on ebay, a little optimistic of longevity of performance (yet the price was too good to pass up). I currently have cheap ass tenzo-R springs with 2.25 inch drop but i'm going to swap them out with some coilovers to get a 1.5 inch drop instead- which is the suggested drop limit by the manufacturer. With that said regarding the KYB AGX's, I have two questions/points-

1. Is a drop of 2 inches or more required in terms of acquiring better handling. I have a CRX which already handles great stock, only suspension mod are 13lb 16' rims which produced a major improvement in acceleration and handling.

2. Is the car's weight a factor? A lightweight car such as the CRX should produce less stress on suspension components. If this is true, than probally "nicecrx's" comments may not seem too far fetched. I personally hope not, especially since he claims to have a 2.25 inch drop on his REX for over a year with no problems with the shocks.

Re: dropping on KYB's

Been running KYB AGX for about 2 months now with H&R sport springs. THey are stiffer than stock on the softest settings and can be set to a real stiff ride. I keep mine on the softest setting and still have a bit of trouble drinking a cup of coffee on my way to work. I think they work well, but I have nothing to compare them to.
