How do I adjust the damping on the KYB AGX shocks?

The KYB AGX shocks feature a manually adjustable damping system. Depending on the vehicle application, this is done using either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, allowing you to quickly change both rebound and compression damping.

What is the benefit of manually adjustable damping?

Manually adjustable damping allows you to tailor your vehicle's suspension performance to your specific driving needs. You can increase damping for more aggressive driving on a track or street, or adjust it for a more comfortable ride.

Does this shock come with a strut boot?

No, this KYB AGX front shock does not include a strut boot. It is recommended to purchase a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB123, separately to protect the shock from dirt, debris, and salt.

Product Details

KYB is well-known for making reliable suspension components, and their AGX line of shocks and struts is a popular choice for drivers who want more control over their ride. This front AGX shock is designed specifically for your 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, giving you the ability to fine-tune your suspension's performance without needing special tools. You can quickly adjust the damping rates to suit your driving style, whether you're cruising on the street or hitting the track.

With either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, depending on your specific vehicle application, you can easily increase both rebound and compression damping. This means the shock instantly reacts to changing road conditions, helping to keep your tires firmly planted and maintaining vehicle control. The AGX is a solid option when you need more from your suspension than a standard replacement part can offer, allowing for up to 125% more damping than the original equipment design.

While these shocks are built to handle more demanding conditions, it's a good idea to protect your investment. Consider adding a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB123, to shield the new struts from dirt, debris, and road salt.
