Shock Question
 
I just bought 2 KYB AGX shocks/struts for the front of my car to stop the bouncing. My question is do I have to buy AGX for the rear or can I go with a Cheaper GR-2 non adjustable for the rear?

Didn't buy a entire set of AGX because right now I don't have the money but the bouncing is really getting on my nerves.

What should I do?

You needed AGX to keep your car from bouncing? Why not just go GR2 all around? My only concern with the mismatched shocks is if the damping on the GR2 is less stiff than the AGX, although I assume if you adjust the AGX to be softer they'll be better matched, and you won't notice a handling difference.

i would get some shocks that match. i have the koni sports and i forgot to adjust them for the rear so they are a lot softer than the fronts and the car doesn't handle at it's full potential. i would get shocks that match all around.

^Id match too..handling problems could come around from the different stiffnesses

Unless your trying to win some F1 world championship, you'll be fine.

I'd be fine with AGX and GR-2's or all AGX's? I am leaning towards buying 2 more agx's but if I don't have to spend the money then I'm not going to.

When I go over bumps at a fairly decent rate of speed the front seems to bottom out and i think the tire scrubs the wheel well. Will the shocks stop this?

Also I have to get under there with my dremel and cut out for the skunk2 camber kit it gets caught on the black peice also.

might be a good idea to go with the same, but listen to hondaman-iac he knows his suspension
