Sti V7 Struts and shocks or going with a brand new set of KYB AGX struts and shocks.

Dunno about the AGX. Would suggest spending the money and getting some Cusco Zero 2's, Teins or JIC's. If you want to keep the ride height and stocker look, go with the V7's.

wrx151....I like the idea of going with a nice coilover set but money is kinda tight. if i went with v7's it would not be a complete stocker look because i have tein s techs to go with them.

thanks for your opinions guys if anyone else has any ideas or suggestions feel free to let me know

where were you planning on buying the STi v7 struts/shocks?
if money is tight i'm sure that JIC magic's are outta the question.
i've never had kyb agx on my subarus, but had them on my mustang. i liked the fact that all i needed was a screwdriver to change my settings. plus i paid 500 bucks for all 4.

mach5wrx~v8 take-offs? not sure what you mean could you elaborate please?

gdogg~I can get a set v7's form this place in texas for about 500 with about 3,000 miles on them do you think thats a good price? or i could get a set of kyb for the same price the only difference is adjustability, but as silver satin said they are the same as usdm but with adjustability again.

Why cant parts be cheap!
