But the options for settings were killer. Raise and lower ride height to whatever and still maintain stock like ride comfort with a twist of a spindle. Can be a bit of a pain to setup but I hear its the way to go, and the handling is nothing short of awesome.

KYB AGX's are $50 a pair cheaper than Koni Yellows, so I've been quoted from Wholesale Suspension in Penrith...

I have Bilstein in my EF xr6 and way better than the KYB and BOGE that I used as well.

Only gripe I have with Bilstein is they don't have bracket to connect the ABS line....

I'm pretty sure Koni do have the ABS bracket on the strut...
