koni vs. agx

I know this has been discussed in one post, but I have some further questions. I'm getting my sprints cut and need to choose between koni and agx (versus my new tokico right now), is the extra $100 worth it for the koni's? thanks.

How are Konis worth $100 more than AGXs?

They are harder to install and harder to adjust....

the only reason I ask is that in one post someone said they were of better quality than the agx and would handle low rides 2-2.5" drop better, any opinions?

P.S. I will also need my camber adjustment and agx kit is only 40

My friend's shop did it for free, so it wasn't hard for me at all.
And if you want to adjust, just pop the hood open, pop on the Koni **** on the top of the strut and turn, easy as that. But if you are talking about the rear... then yes, that's a lot harder than just turning the **** for adjustment.

the AGX only have a one year warranty too so if you blow them go buy a new one. Koni the fronts have to be modified but w/the proper tools is a simple mod. I now own pipe cutters so it will cut through metal easily. KYB makes this adjustable performance shock so if you drop the car with coilovers or below two inches it voids the warranty , geez totally defeats the purpose of an aftermarket performance shock if you ask me. So my opinion for lifetime warranty and drop issues I d still get Konis.
