your headunit already has some anti-skip protection built into it, besides H&R springs ride close to stock

H&R with KYB AGX not a close to stock ride

but if you have the stock headunit you might experience some skipping when going over rough roads.

I had Sprints with KYB AGX and it skipped a lot,
than H&R's with KYB AGX it skipped few times
now on front Tokico's HP and rear KYB AGX - no skipps

my h&r/agxs make my CD skip ONLY on major potholes. Otherwards, it's fine.

My CD player has never skipped on any suspension setup I've ever run.


I only drive on smooth roads though.

I hit some pretty big bumps on the H&R/AGX's and no skips at all.

mine skips occasionally but i think it has more to do with the headunit being really old and probably dirty inside..

but then again, i drive on NYC streets with 18" wheels, H&Rs and low profile rubber..

I have ground controls lower about 2 inches and agx set to 3 in the front and 6 in the back and the bose cd player has never skipped on me. The roads here are not that great either. I am riding on 18's with 235/40/18 rubber too. I don't think u will have a problem with h&r and agx.

newer head units are very hard to skip. my dad has a pioneer head unit in his shelby cobra and that thing isnt meant for smooth rides and it never skips. we got it 2 years ago so i can imagine what they can do now.

Hey Frank,
