Shocks?

I know SCCA rules state that shocks have to be same height as OEM to remain stock. Would getting adjustable KYB AGX's be against the rules?

You can have adjustable shocks (rebound and/or compressio) but it still must be stock height.

Cool... are the AGXs' considered stock height? Would you recommend them?

It depends on the company.

AGXs are ok. In my opinion from best to worst:

1. Moton
2. Advance Design shocks
3. Koni Yellows (ots - off the shelf)
4. Tokico Illuminas
5. Koni Reds
6. Tokico Blues
7. AGX

If you can wait and save money at least invest in the Koni Yellows.

I agree. My koni's have better adjustment and damping than any shock i've used. A lot better than the Illuminas, which were still pretty damn good with stock springs. Just be sure you use the proper snap-ring perch location so as not to lower the car.
