KYB AGX or Konis on a civic

Cant make up my mind between koni adjustables or kyb agx. Im wanting a firm ride but not harsh solid but not kidney bruising if youve ridden in civics with similar spring setups but with either kyb agx or koni adjustables which did you like better. If you havent ridden or driven both dont worry about responding I dont want to hear a biased opinion when you havent ridden or driven both.

Well I have the KYB AGXs......very pleased with them.....and Ive ridden/driven in cars with the same springs as me and Konis.....couldnt notice a diff.....just depends if you are a label snob and how much you wanna spend.....KYBs will definately be cheaper......and with the money you save you can spend that on more go fast parts. JMO.

Ive ridden in civics with KYBs and civics with Konis. Right now I have Konis installed on my civic. The KYBs will definately be cheaper... however they are not adjustable. It all really depends on what you want to do with the car. Autocross= Koni adjustables
Every day driving= KYBs (cause they are less expensive.)
Just my $.02.

kyb offers an adjustable and a non adjustable if anything Ill be getting the adjustables. So how is the ride and performance of the konis compared to the kyb agx you just commented on price.[/b][/quote]
Well I didnt want to be biased in my opinion. Personally I like the Konis more. They seem to have a better feel to them. The car just seems to respond a little better. The AGXs are nice... but I prefer the konis. Just my $.02!!

I also have the Koni Yellows and - while I havent been in a car with KYB AGXs - I can say the Konis do provide a firm ride and a substantial difference in response over stock - not to mention the adjustability. A lot of this depends on what springs/coilovers you decided to go with - but you knew that already. One question though do the KYBs have the adjustable perches like the Konis? I happen to have the Konis off my car at the moment but theyre not for sale.

no the kyb agx do not have the adjustable perch. Hell the whole suspension on my car is done right now with the exception of shocks. Ive got eibach pro-kits camber kit nuespeed front upper strut bar rear lower strut bar front lower strut bar rear upper strut bar itr front and rear sways polly bushings all the way around rear disc conversion custom reinforced subframe but stock fucking shocks (with 160000 miles 60000 of those miles have been on the eibach springs so yeah Id say they need replaced). Been considering a cam with my tax return but Im really wanting to finish the suspension up.
