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.

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
