AGX aren't meant for anything lower than a 1.5" drop. The warranty is void if you go lower. I had them, and honestly, compared to the Konis that I have now, they were awful. The "adjustment" went from "not soft enough" to "not stiff enough". They aren't a great choice... especially not for what they cost.
Tokico HP ("blues") are stock replacement. They seem to be able to deal with some abuse, but they aren't really made for performance.
If you aren't going to get Koni Yellows, I say get the cheaper HPs, or some KYB GR2s. Don't waste your money on AGXs.

i saw on this site that had ground controls for cb7's.
they had 3 different types because each one was meant for a different brand shock absorber, which was specifically listed.
the site was bought by someone else, so i cant find that link for you anymoreComment

yea thats what i heard also. thanks for the input cause i was going to switch them over to one of the other struts i had but i guess ill keep them on the new but oem struts there on now. with ground control coilovers i can still lower the car a good deal on the oem struts right?Comment

Idk, I'd have to disagree, AGX's aren't bad, they give a nice taut ride over bumps and control the car under braking pretty well. I've had my setup for about 3.5 years now and none of the shocks are blown or experiencing any type of problems. I've also got them paired up w/ the Ground Control Coilovers as well. It give a good ride. I'm lowered about 2 inches I'd say.

They aren't made for anything lower than 1.5"
Keep in mind that most people that say they're good have never experienced anything else.

what strut is good for a nice slam 3" im thinking. they are on new but oem struts now, i mean it might not handle as well but will it handle at least a 3" drop without blowing them out?Comment

sorry for the
but, about how long do KYB AGX's last? I'm just wondering since I've had mine for a long time, but no problems anyone know offhand?

i found the agx's to be fine with a 2" drop. they've worked well with H&R race and my ksport springs (which are purely comfort springs) and those are 2.25" drop. i cruise over bumps no problem and feels smoother than my dad's es300.
but then im mashing through corners, say hello to body roll!
ground controls though are one of the bst raved about coilovers and while agx's will suffice, the koni yellows are probably the best strut option out there considered it is almost the price of a omni or tein basic coilover setup.
the tein basics are also a great option. i drove one that was dropped 3", a little soft but still cornered well with 60 series tires.Comment
