KYB-GR2 vs KYB AGX

Hey folks. Now I've done some searching on the KYB GR-2's on this site...and haven't found very much about them.

Now I was originally considering the KYB AGX's..but two things came to mind

1) I don't expect to change my damping very much...my car does hardly any mileage (1000 miles in the past 4 months - not my daily driver)

2) I'm not a fan of very stiff suspension. Anything stiffer than stock STi suspension might be a bit too harsh for my taste. I get the impression that the KYB AGX's are kinda stiff.


The GR-2's may more be suited to my application I guess (given point #1), but how do they compare to the AGX's anyway....are they softer? just as stiff? How do they compare to stock? Smae as stock or stiffer?

The GR2's are slightly stiffer than stock (WRX)- w/ a milder spring they should work fine

the AGX's from what I've read are pretty firmly damped

would be nice to see a dyno of the GR2 over laid w/ all four postions of the AGX, but I doubt KYB would provide that

Looking to use the GR-2's on stock WRX Springs (for now anyways). SPT springs, or something from Ground Control (Eibach) can be a possibility in the future (No TEIN S-Techs's don't worry )
