People have asked at least twice, I dont know that anybody knows, but keep the thread alive if you still think you may find something.

Good luck

yeah apparently they've been on back order for 6 months now or something...
Well What shocks are comparable to the Bilstein. They dont have to be adjustable... just really good like a bilstein hd? AGX??
Want some proven road racing shocks that are good all around too.. I drag race also.

Bilstein is in a class nearly of its own, not to say that they are THEE TOP DOG, but for what they are they are very good, you'll find them on BMWs and many other 'classy' vehicles.

I haven't heard much good about the AGX yet, and I dont really expect too. KYB doesn't have the best rep other than an ok OTC shock at your locak auto parts store, for the not so picky driver. When I tried to get info out of a sales rep on what the shock values where, he told me something along the lines of "it has 5 position adjustability!" wow...

Tokico makes struts/shocks for other cars, and one thing interesting about thiers as that their adjuster **** hits both rebound and compression unlike Koni singles, still Konis are considered better than the Tokico also. AGX isn't even talked about really, so I think its accepted that it just doesn't cut it, especially if you 'spring' the car or drive it hard. There are guys doing ITS who go through shocks in 5 races, why they dont just buy a shock meant for the job I can't figure out yet

Yup, ready to order Bilstein HD's as soon as they are available too- they should have a manufacture sponsored discount for making us wait so long ! Then again.... will only wait so long.

Been in a Z with the AGX set-up; tight and not bad, but hard to tell as the Z had alot of other suspension mods
