i have RS-R racing springs on my 1990 240sx accompanied with some totally blown OEM shocks. Just crusing around my car seems to loose control around bumpy roads and i need to get some new shocks.i would really like to Spring for some Coilovers but i just bought my RsR racing springs for 80bucks. I've heard around that KYB AGX's are really good and cheap, so im looking around for those. i have around a 300$ budget, i figured insted of paying off my speeding ticket ill do it later and buy some suspention insted. i'd like to get 2cents from anyone and see if there are any other options that i have, thanks alot for the info guys, btw i live in socal.-Lee

kyb agxs will work, but in my opinion koni yellows would definitly work alot better, also would probably work better with your RSRs. especially if they are thr race version.

i have kyb agx + s-techs and work fine, but if i had yoour springs ill definetly save an extra 100 and get konis.

I am no expert, but I have heard that the AGX's are a litte underdamped for the rsr race springs. It would still be a nigt and day difference from oem blown shocks, but the rsr race springs have higher spring rates than most after market springs out there. Koni sports would probably be a better match, but they are costly.

yellows are alittle on the expensive side, i guess ill just go for KYB AGX's if anyone has any big objections? money is a big issue for me, and im already blowing my money on shocks rather then paying off a speeding ticket :-). i need to drive on the freeway and the bounceing and sliding is going to probly kill me haha.
