I only have experience with the KYB AGX shocks on my race car with coilovers. They are garbage. They are nothing but a fancy street shock. I get wheel chatter on the front outside wheel on hard turns.

This might not apply if you are running stock springs. But if you are running stock springs an adjustable shock is really not necessary.

A friend has AGX's on a DSM Talon. With very stiff springs and some track use, he's blown out both rears in about a year. I think they are designed for street use with mild spring rate increases.
