the agx's are a pretty good investment. i have them with the skunk coils (they kinda suck) and they ride aight....its easy the adjust the settings for the agx. they provide a small flathead screwdriver for the front and u can easily reach the knob for the back. mine lasted for about 3 years

are the full omnipower coilovers more likely to last longer than a omnipower sleeve+agx combo?

I'm not sure if it would last longer, but the omni coilovers sure have better handling than a coil/agx setup.

Only 3 years? Hmmm.. do you autox or drive on massively bumpy roads?

I recently got AGX's and am a little concerned that they'll only last 3 years.

i cant decide on whether to get the full coilovers or sleeves+agx's. the full coilovers cost about 630 shipped, the sleeves+ kyb agx's are about 520 shipped. any suggestions? i will be riding on some 16" slips and will lower it about 1.75 or possibly lower once i have enough money for a front camber kit

Why not spend the money and get some KONI yellows...

They are lifetime guaranteed.

if u want to be able to adjust your shock stiffness and height, get the agx/sleeve combo. If u just want to adjust height, then get the full omnipower coilover.

like do u want a soft ride like a buick or a stiff harsh ride like a race car. I have agx and ground controls for daily driving. I prefer soft cuz I don't want to feel every little bump in the road. only downside is you'll void your warranty on kybs if u lower more than like 1.5". so they're pretty much a wear and tear part.
