I've put KYB's on 5 or 6 Hondas and everyone is happy with them.

what makes konis better?

and what do you think of gas adjustable shocks? (agx)

 

[godai]

Konis are height adjustable (3 settings) unlike KYB. Also Konis' "infinite" adjustability maybe more desired than kyb's pre-defined 4 or 8 ways.

KYB's are red, which I think looks better than yellow

. KYB's for Preludes have only 4 stiffness settings. A little bit limiting, but it's enough for me. KYB only has a 1 year warranty, whereas Koni has lifetime (I think, I at least know it's better than KYB's). But KYB's certainly do the job well, and can be mighty stiff if you want them to be.

If you guys want a good deal on KYB AGX go to JC whitneys web page %25 off for the next couple of mounths you can get them for like $255, its a great deal.

Well, one of the best things I like about Koni's is that Koni will rebuild them for you, and also do custom valving. I was looking at a set of Koni's yesterday (the yellow ones) and Id like to get a set sometime soon when I find a good price. I think that wont be a problem, I know of a good distributor nearby.
