For enthusiastic drivers who like to control the suspension setup of their cars, comes a new range of fully adjustable shock absorbers from kyb, the worlds largest producer of shock absorbers and other suspension components.

AGX is a fully 'on car' adjustable gas charged shock absorber for high performance cars, and is available as a twin tube shock absorber, strut or cartridge.

Offering up to eight different damping characteristics from soft to firm, AGX has all the adjustability of a race-tuned shock with the simplicity needed for day to day motoring.

The shocks allow drivers to 'dial in' their preferred performance setting to match their style of driving. Whether commuting to work, cruising up the motorway, touring at high speed on rural back roads, or getting

ready for a track test day, the driver can literally fine tune the shocks damping rate accordingly.

For normal running the same setting should be made to both shocks on the same axle, but for track test or circuit use, the facility exists to adjust setting so that the nearside and offside perform differently.

AGX is also particularly suitable for 'enthusiasts' wanting to tune or customise their cars by lowering the ride height and is the perfect compliment to kyb's new K-force Lowering Kit.

The unique feature of the AGX shock absorber is its ability to change a vehicles ride characteristics in seconds and without the need for tools, having to jack-up the car, remove any components, or adjust the spring pre-compression.

The AGX range is available for both European and Japanese models including cars such as the Audi A3 and A4, VW Golf and Vauxhall Corsa, Astra, Vectra and Calibra, the Mazda MX5, Nissan 200SX, Subaru Impreza, Toyota Celica and MR2, and is an additional product line to kyb's already comprehensive shock absorber range.

kyb's new AGX line incorporates all of the key design advantages that make KYB products superior in terms of performance and reliability.

A patented check valve is used to minimise oil foaming that can cause a shock's performance to fade under hard use. Sintered iron pistons and guide rods are used for greater strength and durability, while micro-smooth, hardened and chromed piston rods help to increase and extend seal life.

Multi lip seals or self healing packing are used to keep oil ion and contaminants out, even under rugged conditions, and seamless eye rings and cylinders are employed to eliminate the possibility of weld failures experienced with shocks using welded seam construction and rolled eye rings.
