kyb agx adjust. or koni reds??

First off, I do not want blues because i hear they are not as stiff as other shocks.
I have eibach sportlines and I need to get new shocks, (cuz i can't get the others off due to a stripped top allen key thingie)
it seems people say not to get agx's cuz my drop is more than their reccomended 1.5" maximum, but then again i hear people who slam their cars with it using for example ground controls..
ebay has these shocks for 299 SHIPPED right now.
also i like the adjustability with agx,
koni reds sounds like a good plan too, but first i can't find any good prices, (308 at shox.com) and they don't have that adjustability.

now would you guys just go for it and try the agx's? i would like the adjustability, but not pay over 500 bucks for the yellows.....

yo man... i just ordered the agx adjustables for 299 shipped. and got my sportlines for 120 ( a friend )

if ya need any tips on putting them in let me know...
the easiest way was to use a rubber mallet to hit the ratchet or wrench to make the bolts loose... thats what i did and it makes it a ton easier.

dont hit the ratchet. the sudden impact will more likely break a stuck bolt than loosen it.

use an 18mm deepwell socket with a 6" or 10" extension, and slip the combo over the ratchet handle for more leverage.

i heard a guy have them for over a year with no problems on GC... so i'm not gonna worry on my 1.8 drop

when i tried to use all my might i twisted the head of the ratchet off...
now i just bang at it with a hammer and it does the trick,.
