KYB Shocks & Struts AGX Rear ACURA EL 1997-00 HONDA Civic 1996-00

If you're looking to fine-tune the handling of your 1996-2000 Honda Civic, these KYB AGX rear shocks are a solid option. They let you adjust the damping force to match your driving style, whether you're cruising on the street or hitting the track. This means you can get a firmer ride for better control during spirited driving or a softer feel for everyday comfort.

KYB built these AGX shocks with manually adjustable valves, so you don't need any special tools to change the settings. Depending on the specific vehicle application, you'll either use an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot to make adjustments. Either way, one simple change affects both the rebound and compression damping, giving you a noticeable difference in how the car handles. The damping system is velocity-sensitive, meaning it reacts instantly to changes in road conditions to help keep your tires firmly planted and maintain vehicle control.

When you're installing these, KYB recommends replacing your strut mounts at the same time, like their part number SM5058, to help reduce the chance of noise and vibration down the road.
