Where can I find Kyb Agx shocks?

Where can I find a kit for my 87 TII? I need shocks and springs all around. I hear these are very good shocks and quite cheap also.

www.tirerack.com

I got mine at www.tirerack.com for my accord there great, cheap and i love them.
Another great place is Victoria british, do a search there only mail and phone orders only
Dont go too crazy lowering and **** my man, cuz you gotto factor a few things.
1) the ride is A LOT harsher the lower you go so you better not live around areas that have bad roads.
2) Your going to need some kind of camber adjuster cuz youre going to go through tires like crazy if you dont.
And many others

Im telling you this cuz these are the two problems i now have with my car, grant it it is an accord but its general priciple for all cars when lowering.

www.summitracing.com sells those shocks for $75 american each.
If you read any import magazine you probably see their ads in there with prices too.

you gotta remember something mazda's when lowered dont have a lot of camber issues like hondas do. my mx6 has maybe -.05 cambers so you cant really tell and its been dropped 2.0ins. friends rx7 doesnt have any camber issues either its been lowered by hks springs.

just thought i would let you know

i went all out and got the whole shabang from K2RD. I got the KYB AGX's, coilovers, front camber plates, rear camber adjuster, and both Racing Beat sway bars weighting in at just under $1300 for all of it. Wile I was at it I replaced all my bushing with poly and did the toe elem. bushings too (that added another $300). Thats probley farther than you've ever wanted to go, but its extremely adjustable. You can get just the shocks and coilovers for right at $1k and they are worth it, at least to me.

You may not be looking to do all that but I have a set of Suspension Techniques springs and the rebound on then was unpredictable even though they are linear rate. They would probley work fine with AGX's but normal shocks can't control them, or at least thats my experance. I'll sell them if anyone wants them.

you can see pictures of my K2RD setup on my site, http://www.devilmotorsports.com/rtr/...hris/chris.htm there is a direct link to the page
