Those are pretty much stock replacements. If you pay a little more you could go for the KYB AGX's which are 4 way adjustable in the front and 8 way adjustable in the rear.

Yep, the Inifini Versions use 'em. Much cheaper than coilovers, too.

For that price, you could get a set of Tokico non-adjustables for better performance.

The OEM shocks on about 80% of cars made in Japan are made by KYB (and that most likely includes the FC), so yes, they're a good brand.

I agree with Ted... they are okay.. but the non adjustable Tokicos are a better choice (and were OEM on my vert) for the money.

I have the AGX's on my car with a 1" drop and I love them. When set moderately, they are fine for the street (not too bouncy), while still offering a huge increase in cornering ability.

Definitely one of the best mods that I have done to my car, except for all of the 'Type R' and 'NOX' badges of course...........................jk
