I truly use the different setting on the AGXs. There's a dramatic difference (especially in the rear) between the softest and harshest settings. I set them low for a long highway cruise, and set them high for great cornering and "spirited driving".

The GR2's are OK, I have them on the back and the AGX on the front. AGX for the back on the way.

The GR2's are a good strut... They are an OEM Quality Strut... The AGX's are just more for racing ability... i run AGX's on the front of my civic, and GR2's on the rear....

GR2's give more of an OEM style ride, since they are designed as an OEM replacement strut. So depending on the drop, they ride really good.

so how would it feel with pro-kits and GR2's???

If it feels as nice as stock then I'm game, I'd rather get those jsut for the money...........not all of us have bottomless bank accounts like dustbuster!

yeah, the ride is pretty much like stock... but its hard to tell, cause Ive never had the stock springs on them... I love the ride... with the springs I have (made for V6 accords, mine is a 4 cyl, so the fronts are stiffer) my car rides like a 6th gen Civic SI.
