I don't think the GR2's are available yet for the 5th gen...I thought both GR2 and AGX were due out this summer.

AGX's are now availabe at a ridiculous price of about $600 shipped from Cattman.......anyone know where to get them cheaper?

I'd wait, particularly since shox.com is going to sell the AGX at just over $400.

Konis all the way but...are they out yet for
our Gen5?? I dont think so....I called the US Koni distributor last wek and no dice -yet. Also followed up with an email to Koni in Europe and ditto answer so...if you have part neumbers, let's have them!
I've installed Konis on one Celica (1972), one Porsche, several Honda, one s-10 Blazer and one Yamaha two-stroke....they are the best out there, period. Plus, different from all other adjustable shocks (ala Illuminas, AGX's etc when you adjust (tighten) a Koni you only affect rebound damping, not compression....perfect for a stiffer spring setup when the stiffer spring will harshed the ride on compression anyway and you DONT want the shock to contribute to the increased spring rate.
Then on rebound, the tighter shock will reduce the tendency of the stiffer spring to extend the wheel out super-fast because it has higher rebound rates thus also improving that segment of the ride...
Bottom line, been there, done that with MANY Konis...I'll buy them next day after they're available for our Gen5's!
