Construction & Design

The KYB AGX Strut features a robust, corrosion-resistant housing crafted from high-quality steel and aluminum components. Its one-piece piston rod design ensures durability and consistent damping performance. The external adjustment knob is ergonomically positioned for easy access, enabling quick tuning without the need for disassembly or special tools. The internal valving system is engineered to provide a smooth, controlled ride while supporting aggressive handling when desired. The strut's design emphasizes heat dissipation and structural integrity, making it suitable for spirited driving and everyday use alike.

Performance & Sound

With adjustable damping settings, the KYB AGX Strut allows you to tailor your vehicle’s suspension response to your preferences. When set to a firmer setting, you'll experience improved handling, reduced body roll, and enhanced steering feedback—ideal for spirited driving or track days. Softer settings provide a more comfortable ride for daily driving. While the product is not designed to significantly alter exhaust or intake sounds, the improved suspension response contributes to a more composed and confident driving experience overall.

The KYB AGX Rear Adjustable Strut is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory rear struts on compatible Acura CL, Acura TL, and Honda Accord models from 1998 to 2003. Installation is straightforward for those with basic mechanical skills, as it involves removing the existing struts and replacing them with the KYB units using standard tools. No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are required. The external adjustment feature allows you to fine-tune damping rates after installation, ensuring optimal handling and comfort tailored to your driving needs.
