hi guys, i'm researching a suspension setup for my r33 and i came across " KYB AGX Adjustable Suspension ".

i read a few reviews from seemingly happy wrx owners but thought i'd check with you blokes.

i found my info by searching on yahoo. could not find anything on skylinesaustralia search.

any thoughts?

thanks............

Had some of these in my first 180 and was very impressed with them, particularly that when you adjusted the damper setting you could actually feel a big difference, unlike most systems I've tried.

I was really happy with them combined with 5zigen springs, great for the street. I'd get them again

cool, thanks phunky monkey.

i was starting to think that no one had heard of them.

i can get these at a good price so i think that i'll give them a go!

thanks for the reply

For what it's worth, KYB actually make the Nismo shocks.

Gotta be happy with that.

cheers

muz....

no sh*t!  i wonder why so few people have heard of them?

Does this mean that they are an inferior product compared to say the more reputable ones like koni's, bilstiens ect???

what?

why would they be inferior if KYB make shocks for nismo, seeing nismo is big up in there on the performance upgrades. KYB is good, kyb make most suspension on standrd cars, along with alot of other parts.

I have kyb agx adjustables on my s15.... They are ok. I bought them because I wanted the adjustability...

Having been in a few cars with bilsteins and konis, they are much better.

Apparently the reason it feels better is because the valving is a lot mores sophisticated.

I think you will find most racecars have european shocks. Japan is good at making many things but shocks isn't there strongest one.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
