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?
I know it's confusing and counter-intuitive. I'm not a KYB tech obviously, nor do I know much about their designs, but I would guess the GR2's can't deal with the stiff spring because the seals and valves aren't designed to handle the higher pressures and heat associated with dampening a stiffer spring.
The AGX struts have better seals and valves designed to deal with the higher pressure and heat associated with the stiffer springs, but happen to have valve adjustments that can have them behave like the GR2's.
Simply put, they are built better (ignoring their adjustability).
