I'm interested in the AGX struts?
Do you have any pics?

Also why are you selling them? Any defects? These are $475 new from Cattman's website.
Do you have the illumina's installed? If so, how are they different?

Yes I can take some pics...I replaced them with Illuminas since the Illuminas were made for the 00-03 Maxima and the AGX wasn't It was modified (front struts)to fit the 00-03. I found the ride to bottom out quite often, but more than likely my fault for not cutting the bumpstops as I always have on lowered coil spring setups. Brian Catts said it wasn't necessary to mess with the bumpstops so I didn't. I'd recommend that you modify the 00-03 upper strut mount to fit the AGX rather using the 4th gen uppper strut mounts (they suck!!!!). The 4th gen upper strut mount shaft opening ("D" shaped hole) is easy as hell to round out and the 5th gen is closer tolerance and a much tighter fit.
The difference that I noticed is that the Illuminas are smooth more compliant and not that their softer but definitely better oscillation control. The Progress springs are a little different between the 4th gen with the AGX(AGX was original made for the 4th Gen only) and the 5th gen I bought later. The progress springs now were charcoal grey and had less coils with more space in between the coils (less chance to coil bind).
The AGX seemed tighter and seemed to offer less piston movement PSI easy to adjust qiuckly , except on wet rainy days while doing the rears. Passenger side works well with 5th gen modified strut mount but has problem with 4th gen strut mounts. other than that I'll give some pics 2morrow, I got less than 4K on them and they're in awesome shape. Just so you'll know AGX is for 4th gens these were modified (front struts) to fit 00-03, that means whatever springs you order will need to be 4th gens
