Construction & Design

The KYB AGX struts feature a robust steel housing and piston rod, engineered for strength and resistance to corrosion. The externally adjustable damping mechanism is housed within a sealed unit, preventing dirt and debris from compromising performance. The design incorporates a precise valving system that allows for smooth, consistent damping adjustments across all stages. This construction ensures that your vehicle maintains optimal handling characteristics whether you are cruising on the street or pushing the limits on the track.

Performance & Sound

With the KYB AGX adjustable struts, you gain the ability to customize your suspension response to suit your driving needs. The adjustable damping allows you to soften the ride for daily comfort or stiffen it for improved handling and reduced body roll during spirited driving. While these struts do not significantly alter the sound profile of your vehicle, their high-quality construction ensures quiet operation and reliable performance over time.

The process involves removing the existing struts and replacing them with the KYB AGX units using standard hand tools. No special tuning or alignment adjustments are necessary, although it is recommended to have a professional alignment after installation to ensure optimal handling and tire wear. The adjustable feature is easily accessible once installed, allowing you to make damping adjustments without removing the struts again.
