When I get the money (that means never) I'd like to get aftermarket shocks and struts. I wish I could afford tokico or bilstein but KYB seems to be the value quality brand. Before I make any purchase I'd like some insight as to how the AGX adjustable series holds up.
So if any of you guys are running or once did use the AGX or has a buddy that does, please tell me the pros and cons. I'm mostly concerned about street use cause I rarely see the track

Can't say much about any specific brand.
But I have had the experiance of removing the front struts from one of these ponies.

It took a large flat tip screw driver and a box end wrench.
The screw driver holds the center stud while rotatang the nut counter clock wise.

At first the nut was stuck really super tight beyond belief.
So I heated the nut with a $9.00 propain from Walmart.
Once the nut was Glowing cherry red I put the wrench and screw driver to it and it turned so easy. Sorta, like cutting butter with a cherry red hot knife.

Trust me though, Keep using the wrench and don't try using your fingers. OUCH

I already know how to take the the struts out, plus I have a spring compressor and and impact tools to make it much quicker and easier.

the GR-2 line is the stock replacement series so its not exactly what i'm looking for
