Well I bit the bullet and got the KYB AGX shocks fitted to the Xr8 today. Four shocks fitted $1100, there usually $330 each retail, Whiteline sell em for $380, so I figured it was a pretty good deal. Shocks have four stage adjustment, currenttly set on 2. The only drama is the the top rear shock mounts have to be reamed slightly to fit the shaft. Greatly improved feel, but time will tell.
