    Koni Special Single Adjustable or the KYB AGX Adjustable what is the better shock for the money and performance

    There is no comparison between the two. If you're going to spend the money on KYBs, get Bilsteins. If you're going to need more than a Bilstein, get the Koni. Its very simple ;)

        I'm running KYB AGX's right now. The Blisteins or Konis would be better.

          I have the KYBs. They're okay, but the softest settings (1) is not even close to how I would want them at the race track. I think that they would be excellent for road racing and such for the price. Not a bad shock, but not ready for the drag strip. I'll be honest with you, though. I think that you will get similar results at the drag strip with any multi-purpose shock. If you want a drag shock, then get a drag shock with the correct ratio. Gonna suck in everyday driving, though. Don't take any hard curves with them. :D

          Hope this helps.

            Basicly.. if you have the money.. koni's are realllllllly nice shocks if you know how to set them up for your application..

            I like the HD's personaly.. cause you can get teh valved for your specific application, and then you are set..

            I have heard mixed opinions on the kyb's.. they are "OK".. but if you want adjustability the koni's are the way to go..
