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

The KYB AGX shocks have an adjustment mechanism, either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, depending on the vehicle. A single adjustment changes both the rebound and compression damping to suit your driving needs.

What is the benefit of adjustable damping?

Adjustable damping allows you to fine-tune your vehicle's ride control. You can increase damping for a firmer, more controlled feel during spirited driving or track use, or set it to a softer setting for everyday cruising.

Does KYB recommend replacing any other parts when installing these shocks?

Yes, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, such as their part number SM5182, when installing these shocks. This helps to reduce the chance of noise and vibration.

Product Details

If you're looking to fine-tune the handling of your 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 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 pushing it a bit harder. You can increase the damping up to 125% over stock, giving you more control and a firmer feel when you need it.

These shocks feature an easy-to-use adjustment knob or slot, depending on your specific application, that lets you change both rebound and compression damping with a single turn. The velocity-sensitive valves inside react instantly to road conditions, helping to keep your tires firmly planted and maintaining vehicle control. This makes them a good choice when standard replacement parts just don't cut it for more demanding driving.

When installing these, KYB recommends replacing your strut mounts at the same time, like their SM5182 part number, to help reduce the chance of noise and vibration down the road.
