I got them over 2 1/2 years ago. When I orderd Sportlines I decided to upgrade to the KYB Agx front adjustables. They are still just as killer as when I first got em [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] . I sold the Sportlines over a year ago but still have the front AGX shocks. The backs were stock until last summer when I got KYB Gas-A-Just $30. Anywho, I haven't messed with the firmness settings since the end of last year. And I happend to be under the car the other day for other reasons and noticed the shocks set at 3. Thats on the soft side. So I set them back to 8, the firmest. What a difference on the road [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] . My car has driven like mush forever and roams all over the road, and bottoms out on bumps. But when I set em firm again, it steers firm, turns tight, glides over bumps and feels 100x safer. They really do adjust well and you can feel the different settings. Just a rib to you Koni fans [img]graemlins/stickpoke.gif[/img] , they can't be adjusted on car like the KYBs ;) . It's so true that springs are secondary to quality shocks for ride handling and performance. Don't get springs and think your car is going to be the best handling out there. Get some decent shocks first.

I have the KYB AGX shocks with H&R Springs and I am also a huge fan. They are very simple to adjust and are very firm when you need them to be. Two thumbs up here!- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a>
