Pros:
|
Adjustability, stock dimensions, price vs. competition, durability (at about stock height)
|
|
Cons:
|
Only minimal adjustment ability, constantly increasing price for them new
|
|
The only real comparible option are the Koni inserts, and are alot more work and a bit more money. I got these used with GC coilover springs. Great combo, also can be seen on competitive ST-X WRX\'s moping up the competition. The adjustability works great, even on the track (could use more in the front, but so far its been VERY competitive with full coilover systems)
When mine die out eventually, I will get another set  I dont see any reason to upgrade from here yet.

these were not as expensive as koni\'s, and were pretty straight forward as far as installing them. Comes with screwdriving to adjust settings on top of the strut. Adjusting the back might be a problem for some since the sedan seats cover the top of the rear struts. Great combination with the eibach prokit on the wrx.

Great replacement over stock, cant beat the price. I have them set on 3rd setting out of 4, car feels awesome through the turns, and still a great comfy ride while cruizing.

Much better than stock, but again, still just a shock replacement, but easy and far less than coilovers.

Great improvement over stock and you can\'t beat the price. I didn\'t have money for coilovers at the time so this was a great solution for me.

I installed these recently with some prodrive lowering springs, and my WRX handles much much better than stock. It is a little stiff on the harder settings for commuting, but if you put the front all the way soft its fine. The only draw back is the bright red paint on the struts shows through my wheels, so people know I have upgraded suspension...this is minor but I prefer the stealth look.

Needs Eiback or similar to go along with it.

Good basic upgrade and much chaeper than coilovers. Works very well with the eibach kit.

Pros:
|
Adjustable, easy to install, love the red color!
|
|
Cons:
|
pain to reach back to adjust rear struts
|
|
I love these. They made a world of difference on my 96 L. I only wish there was an easier way to adjust the rear cause I have to jack up my car to reach in and turn the dial. Other than that they are a highly recommended mod and made my car handle about 400% better than the stock setup. I used these with RS stock springs which aren\'t too bad, but it would be better with some eibach or something. After all said and done, I\'d buy these for my next subaru...well worth the money.

Good product for the price. Works well with my Tanabe GF210 springs. Much less body roll and much more response compared to stock.

Pros:
|
price, double adjustable, price, decent quality
|
|
Cons:
|
not a "race quality" replacement, non-rebuildable, only 4-position front adj.
|
|
impreza specs: '01 Impreza Outback Sport wagon
i have a set paired w/ GC (ground control) coilovers with double springs (rates: 143/500-F 120/400-R).
the AGX's may not be valved for the high main rates i am running, but they handle decently for an off the shelf replacement.
the double-adjustment (both compression & rebound) is nice for a street car. I can feel the adjustments in the front and rear. the front is only 4-position adjustable, so its not a huge range but its enough to make a difference.
the rear 8-position has better adjustment but they do lack some rebound valving IMO.
if i was to do it again, i, personally, would go w/ Koni's for their revalving/rebuildable ability and their stiffer rebound.
but i like my setups STIFF.
any standard streetcar should have no problem rocking the AGX's all day long! plus they're a no-brainer install.
exact replacement for OE struts.
but for someone who wants a heavy duty street or race strut, there are more options out there.
I did knotch the brake line bosses to allow for removal w/o disconnecting the brakelines
I gave 6 out of 10 cus they're an off the shelf strut with off the shelf strut limitations, plus -1 point for brakeline removal modification.
