Also for pictures, check out this thread. Someone was selling their SE-L that had RM's.

Most will cost you 500-600. I believe I bought mine from this eBay auction for $430ish shipped.

thanks for the link. I just to not see why the is a need to adjust the sturts. I have always had Gr2's and never had a problem. For the price of agx's i can get springs and gr2's. Do they make that much of a difference from gr2s

The GR2's might not last very long when faced with having to dampen the much-stiffer-than-stock springs made by Road Magnet.

That's why the AGX's (at the least) are recommended.

What he said hehe. Remember your not only paying for adjust-ability, your also paying for the strength. Just like with clutches .

I hope AGX's can hold it better, otherwise might have to spend on CSK's....

X2....I love my setup also

I have had my AGX's for about 200,000 miles with no noticeable loss in performance. First with stock springs, then with Hyperco's. If they ever wear, set them up one notch.

I've been wondering about this. Aren't AGX's on 2F 4R (or something) supposed to be "stock" settings? And aren't GR-2's supposed to be just barely stiffer than stock? And don't some people run AGX's on 1F 1R? So would GR-2's (with RM or hyperco) be adequate for a dd/autox, or are AGX's designed for stiffer springs and GR-2's for stock spring rates?

To OP though, I think if you are going to pay ~$200 for GR-2's, may as well spend a little more to have adjustability. You really can feel a difference in the settings, and it will make the car more desirable if you sell it. Also, you can get a new set for a B14 for around $375, which I don't think is too expensive for a set of four adjustable shocks/struts that have a good reputation.
