KYB AGX longevity and quality question. GONE :(

Postby Steampunk » Thu Nov 22, 2007 10:49 am

I would like to ask, especially those who have these and have done 2,000km or more, about the longevity of these dampers. I am interested in getting a set, they are used, and just want to know the quality of them.

I know they are great and good value, I just want confirmation.
Yes, I suffer from paranoia [looks around]

Cheers

Andrew

PS: on the same note, anyone wanting to sell similar quality dampers&springs? please PM me.

Don't sweat it - probably 1000 kays of off-roading across the Grand Canyon.

:P
So I'm not the only one that reaffirms a missed opportunity with thinking about something very pessimistic about it and then feeling good about that missed opportunity :)

Oh no I can't possibly do THAT!
having just a couple of little stickers on my car that advertises I have a genuine and practical part that actually made a significant change.... nah mate .... I would much rather put a HUGE sticker on at least 3 panels for a teeny-tiny trivial part.
Isn't that the go?
I still haven't found an Apex'i sticker big enough to advertise that I have Apex'i seat-belt pads.

I got loaded with Tein stickers when I got my coilovers. It's like they want you to put the stickers on your car and advertise them. Good marketing I reckon :lol:
