I have some AGXs on my ride, and the rears blew out 100%, and the front are probably getting ready to. I'm not a fan of them at all also b/c they are not rebuildable or height adjustable like the Konis are.

If you are going for a cheaper strut, and not looking to spend a ton, but still want a stiffer ride. Go with the skunk2 struts. Very cheap and I've heard a lot of good things about them. THey should be good for around up to 2 inch drop.

My KYB agx's were pretty stiff- with adjustment on compression and rebound at the same time (if i recall correctly).
(Not sure of the Koni application for Honda) - however, they may only be inserts with adjustable valving for rebound only.

Or they could be the entire strut unit which could accomodate a spring. I did not know they were adjustable in height-which I doubt you can adjust. Most struts are not.

Oh and Koni dampeners are warrantied for life I think.

I wouldn't mess with anything other than Konis well worth the investment...I only rock Konis and GC's...better combo then a lot of full coilovers...I've heard good things about the AGX's but Dans blew out but his hatch is also slammed, If you aren't going to do to much of a drop then possibly save some cash...but you really can't go wrong with the yellows...and thats not just a HT hype thing either....

just fork out the money and get some PIC coilovers. 1-piece coilovers are definately 100x better than any spring/shock combination
