KYB's have always offered a lot of bang for the buck. Some question on
durability for the old gas a justs. I'll be interested to see how their new
higher line stuff does.

The gas-a-justs were copies of the older Bilsteins. I wonder if they
patterned the Monomax off of something??? I've had import autocrossers
tell me the AGX line is similar to a Tokico Illumina. I have no personal
experience with either. Except I hear great things about the Illumina for
import car apps.
