According to Chuck Gonwa, KYB Product Manager, AGX offers adjustability of a competition shock in a package designed for street use. AGX lets you dial in your shocks to match your style of driving. Drivers can fine tune their shocks damping rate for either drag racing, street racing, high speed touring, or cruising main street, noted Gonwa.

The unique feature of the AGX shock is its ability to change your ride characteristics in seconds, without having to lift the car, remove any components, or adjust the spring pre-compression. Adjustments on the AGX can be done with either a knurled dial on the shock body or with a small screwhead located at the top of the piston rod. Depending on the model, AGX offers either 4 or 8 stages of adjustment.

AGX Shocks feature KYB's unique progressive valving which allows the shock's performance to adapt to road conditions. Under smooth road conditions, the shock travels up and down slowly and the valving allows the shock to travel freely for a more compliant ride. When the wheels travel over rough conditions, the shock moves faster. The KYB valve responds instantly, making response firmer to maintain tire contact and vehicle control. This innovative valving varies both the rebound and the compression strokes of the shock with the speed that the shock travels. 

The AGX line will initially be made available for Japanese performance car applications including: Acura Integra (94-97), Honda Civic SED/CRX (89-91), Honda Civic/CRX/Del Sol (92-98), Honda Accord (90-97), Mitsubishi Eclipse/Talon 2wd (90-94), Mitsubishi Eclipse/Talon 4wd (90-94), Mitsubishi Eclipse/Talon 2wd (95-98), Mitsubishi Eclipse/Talon 4wd (95-98), Mazda Miata (MX5) (89-97), Nissan 240SX (S13) (89-94), Nissan 200SX (95-97), Toyota MR2 (SW20, SW21) (90-95), Toyota Supra (JZA80) (94-97), and Subaru Impreza 4wd (93-98).

KYB's new AGX line incorporates all of the key design advantages which make KYB products superior in terms of performance and reliability. A patented check valve is used to minimize the oil foaming which can cause a shock's performance to fade under hard use. Sintered iron pistons and guide rods are used for greater strength and durability. Micro-smooth, hardened and chromed piston rods increase seal reliability and extend seal life. Multi-lip seals and self-sealing packings are used to keep oil in and contaminants out, even under rugged conditions. Seamless eye rings and cylinders are employed to eliminate the possibility of weld failures experienced with shocks using welded seam construction and rolled eye rings.

KYB produces a full line of ride control products as original equipment and replacement parts for use in automobiles, motorcycles, light and heavy-duty trucks, buses, rolling stock, and industrial applications. The KYB line includes gas-filled monotube and twin tube shock absorbers, gas cartridges, gas struts, strut mounts, and strut boots.
