Those are the GR-2's and non-adjustable. Summit sells the better AGX KYB's for $440.
The GR-2's are a decent shock and a small step up from stock and a bigger step if the stockers are a tad old! Call Jegs 1-800-345-4545 or Summit at 1-800-230-3030 and get a comparison on the GR-2's. Mark

I have the KYB AGX's and they seem to be pretty good. One thing to remember if you are lowered or gonna lower your car you have to buy Shock/Struts for a lowered car.

reat post on a great dal. I agree get the AGX's as they are the way to go, maybe a bit rough but set them on 1 and you'll be OK. Mark

I've got the AGX's and they seem pretty good.. I like the ease of adjustment, and like what was mentioned, they're only a little more, in the scheme of things...


The only complaint, is that you can't adjust the rebound independently, but that may not be an issue for those who don't really drive their car past a straight line...

they are pretty good...i have the AGX and the Eibach Pro...and the ride quality...at least to ME...leaves something to be desired...but i believe this is due to the springs not the S/S...and 1 is WAY to soft

I was told that if you're lowering your New Edge Mustang, you should look at shocks and struts for Fox bodies. Why is this?
