If your talking about the AGX..

The only thing you can adsjust is the comfort.. not height..


No real downside to it.. Unless you prefer to have a stiffer setup at times!

The adjustable ones are more aggressive then the nonadjustables.. You can make them have a stiffer damper..

I'd go adjustable because I like to tinker with things. Remember though, AGX struts are only good down to a 1.5" drop.

Yeah, but I've heard of them not doing so well below that. Didn't EliteAccord blow one out?

IT's possible..

I've tested them at 2.25 and they were running fine and sharp.

This whole discussion just shot my thoughts on the KYBs. Of course I'm only going 1.6", but still.

Every time I make my mind up I find something else to consider.

Compared to AGX... What are your thoughts?
