They work similar to the IAS shocks...very nice ride though.

Subject: DML: Re: KYB -MonoMAX Shocks
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.
