I think the rear Tokico dampers are internally adjustable, the AGXs are external. As far as upgrading shocks, the AGXs are fine. So are the Tokicos I guess. I have my AGXs on 4F 7R (basically fully stiffened) and I don't touch 'em so if you want to be "tuning" your shocks all the time you might want the AGXs but if your aren't then the Tokico dampers are fine. I've also heard that Tokico is better quality wise. Mine are ~1 yr. old an still .

I looked up the D-Spec (Dampening Specific) shocks and they are externally adjustable.

for shocks, koni is one of the best ones, too bad they make it pretty hard to adjust and even harder to install for the front

if I can do it again I'll do agx for the front and koni yellow for the rear
