How do I adjust the damping on the KYB AGX shock absorber?

The KYB AGX shock absorber can be adjusted without special tools. Depending on the vehicle application, you'll use either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot to change the damping rates.

What does it mean that the damping is 'velocity-sensitive'?

Velocity-sensitive damping means the shock absorber's valves instantly react to how quickly the suspension is moving. This helps maintain tire contact with the road and improves vehicle control, especially during spirited driving or on uneven surfaces.

Does this shock absorber come with a protective boot?

This shock absorber does not include a strut boot. To protect your new shock from dirt, debris, and salt, you can purchase a KYB Strut Boot separately, part number SB108.

Product Details

KYB is well-known for making solid suspension components, and their AGX shocks are a popular choice for drivers who want to fine-tune their ride. This rear AGX shock absorber is specifically made for your 1999-2005 Mazda Miata, letting you adjust how your car handles without needing any special tools. You can quickly change the damping rates, increasing them up to 125% over the factory settings, which is great for when you want a firmer feel on the street or even for track use.

The adjustment mechanism is straightforward. Depending on the specific application, you'll either use an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, but both give you the same ability to change both rebound and compression damping with a single adjustment. These shocks feature velocity-sensitive damping valves that react instantly to changing road conditions, helping to keep your tires firmly planted and maintaining vehicle control. If you're looking for a step up from standard replacement parts for more demanding driving situations, the AGX is a solid option.

To keep your new shocks protected from dirt, road salt, and debris, consider picking up a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB108.
