I have been reading up on these, and they match up with my Eibach Pro Kit very nice by what I have read. For those who have tried these struts do you like them. Pros/Cons? Also for those who have different struts how are they? I am trying to be as open as possible and I am set on getting these just wanted some people who have gotten this put in and how they are happy with them. I also plan on getting Monroe Strut mounts since my stock creak a lot in the rear. Vibrant tower bars in the mail as well.

Also I forgot to mention that with these KYB struts the pro kit does not void warranty on them, though the sportlines would have.

I like the AGX's a lot, but they can't hold a candle to Koni Yellows. For a drop on Pro-Kits they will work just fine though.
Im also curious about the agx's, specifically ride quality. I was looking at going with this same setup and getting rid of my gravanas.

I have also read Koni Yellows are one of the best to get as well. Which dampens more?

I have the agx's and pro kit. The compression is spot on. It is not bone jaring at all when you go over bumps not even bad ones. The rebound I wish was just a litle more controlled but it is still not bad by any means. I have my fronts and rears all set at the midway point. I have not had any time to experiment with the different setting. I would do it again. I know eibach is making struts and shocks for the cavy designed for their springs. They will not be available until after the first of the year so noone on here has tried them yet. If you will not be doing your suspension until then I would hold out and give those a shot. I can't imagine they would be bad since they are designed for eibach springs.

That is a good idea. It's just that I want to use something lots of people have had good luck with and enjoy. As of what you posted since we got the same springs, im going to get the KYB's ASAP! Haha. I just needed to know who has used them and how they liked them as well.

I have the AGXs with Sportlines (save me the lecture, I bought them packaged that way)
Def. not enough dampening for a Spotline, kinda rough. But on a smooth surface they handle like a go-kart.
Once it's paid off I'm probbaly gonna spring for the Konis though.

I've got AGX's with prokits. Ride quality is ok, I consider it a little stiff I do keep it 2 front and 5 rear though. main factor is handling, which is very good. when combined with good tires and strut bars, you can outhandle most cars on the road. Also the drop is just right in my opinion, it by far does not have a "slammed" look to it, there is still a little wheel gap. It gives the car a more aggresive stance, something you would typically see on cars tuned for autcross. Oh, and keep your stock front mounts, they hold up ok. The rears I would suggest replacing with the new solid mounts their selling on this forum, they slightly lower it more in the rear as well.
I like the ride quality of the prokit and agx's..... 3 front and 6 rear...i just wish i could be lower. When the time comes, i will be on the Tein SS.

If I do go and buy some for the front will it lower that some as well? How good are the stock front ones? I just replaced one with a ACDelco about 2 months ago now. Just keeping my opitons open to everything.

I've had the Prokit + AGXs for almost 2 years on my car and honestly I feel it rides better than stock, Its a daily driver (over 35 miles a day) I tested them on the mid setting and they are very good for normal driving, but since Miami is full of potholes and bad roads I have it set on the last one before the softest one of the settings....and feels very good and smooth (its not recommended to leave it on the softest one) it has a very nice look, on stock LS sport wheels and awesome look with 17's. My opinion, its a good buy if you want something good for a daily driver nothing too aggressive. PM for more info

I have had my prokit and AGX's for a while now, and love them. Not to bouncy and not to firm. They ride SO much better than stock.
My setting are 1or 2 in front and 5-7 in the rear....depending on my mood.

Solid mounts never need to be replaced. The guy here on this forum just started taking orders for the rear mounts, I am not sure if he is making solid mounts for the front yet. Send him a message, I'm sure he's an expert on the subject. As far as lowering it some more: the rear will be lower because the solid mounts are thinner (and stronger), the front depends on how the mount is designed, which I haven't seen any solid front mounts yet.
