just in case, the blown shock is passenger side front only and sounds ugly makes the car look ugly.

I would just wait until you are ready to but on those AGX's, so you can save yourself some $$. A word of advice though. If you put coilovers on those agx's, chances are it's going to ride like shit. I have skunk2's on my agx's and I've already blown one of them.

ahhh now u making me think about it, my set is agx with some teins or something around same quality . my friend has it and it rides really good, the reason i want coilovers is so i can raise them up n winter for the snow if not i would get springs for sure.
another friend has agx with some other brand coilovers and it rides like chit. i think is all about the quality, i am willing to spend $1000

my tokico illuminas have awsome ride quality. Also have u looked into koni yellows. The illuminas and the yellows are meant for a droped car so they should last a long time. I have eibach sprongs with my setup and the ride is just great. I would think the eibach coilovers would be just as good.
