Re: struts and shocks

Depends if you are at stock height or have lowering springs, KYB ADJ. are a good choice for lowered vehicles and I would think they would be good for stock since they are adjustable. Also depends on your budget.

Re: struts and shocks

I think their around $320-340 shipped or around there for all 4. I don't know if that is in your budget or you could go with the regular KYB shocks that are non-adjustable for about $100 or so less I think they are. Ebay should have some deals on them , i would check there first them just goggle them to see if anyone else has a lower price.

KYB AGX! I put my rears on 2 weeks ago and I'm puttin my fronts on hopefully this week. I'm sittin on stock springs but I swear it's lower. Worn springs maybe. Anyways, when I get the fronts on if you haven't bought anything just yet I'll let ya know how they feel.

the adjustable ones let you adjust how firm/soft the shocks are, the regular ones do not.

i have KYB gas adjust on my car and they are about the same as stock

Re: struts and shocks

My QA-1's have adjustables settings and ride height control so it makes it alot easier to fine tune the suspension.

Re: struts and shocks

so should I buy adjustable ones even with stock ride height ? What would be the benefits ?
