Koni Yellows vs. KYB AGX

Koni Yellows vs. KYB AGX...

I plan on eventually installing these with Eibachs. Anyone know the pros/cons of each of these systems.

You guys are comparing apples to oranges.


Koni's are indeed inserts. And you say it "requires a sacrificial strut housing?" Indeed it does, but do you realize it takes 20 minutes per strut to complete? Damn piece of cake if you ask me.


KYB is an excellent budget upgrade with gruppe-s selling them cheaper then the Koni set. I even hear that p-s-t.com is going to offer them at the price for GC8 struts at a low price of $389!


But no matter how you look at it, Koni has always been a better strut/shock aftermarket performance company then KYB has ever been. Koni wins more races, more top cars use koni, etc.

It's your budget on what you want to acomplish.
