Just installed a set of 4 KYB AGX adjustables on my 98 Civic HX, meant to replace 3 blown OEM struts. On my old struts I just had a set of no-name coilovers, I think they're called Exelon or something like that. Anyways, most of the install went smooth, and I left the adjustments alone for the most part, 2 in the front, 4 in the rear. (front are 4-way adjustable, rear are 8-way). The only problem I ran into was the bolt that holds the strut fork to the front lower control arm, seized up inside the bushing and I had to have it professionally cut out, and the bushing replaced. The first day, my front sat higher than normal, then it eventually settled and my front end lowered to where it used to be.
And by all means, i'm not 'slammed' on my coilovers, but I do have a wheel gap of maybe 1/4 to 1/2 an inch.
Does anyone in here have these same shocks??? I read another post by searching that said a friend had KYB AGX's and the first few weeks it rode like s**t, and after that, it got better once the broke in. So is there a break-in period?
Oh, and by shitty ride, i mean not bouncy at all, just very stiff, so when I hit big cracks in the pavement, or small potholes, you feel it through the whole car, cd player skips, and make a loud terrible bang noise.
