Replacing shocks

So car has 184K on original factory shocks. Needless to say its time. Dont want to lower car so keeping stock springs and just gonna get GR-2s. Is there anything else I should replace at the time. The car currently feels fine, no weird noises or clunks, maybe just a little soft but that's how these cars handle. My other car is a heavily modified 04 WRX so the TL is absurdly soft compared to that. Thanks.

Aside from Top Hats, I think you'll be all set. give the springs a good look over and make sure they are still in good condition. Make sure they won't cause any sag either. We have great pricing on the GR-2 shocks!

How do the KYB GR-2 shocks compare to the KYB AGX shocks?

The AGX are also a gas shock, but they feature adjustable damping and are much more performance oriented. They go well with lowering springs and are more recommended for aggressive setups.
