Default Classic KYB AGX or Koni

Anyone know where I can get a set of KYB AGX adjustable shocks for a classic MY00? Struggling to find them in the UK and eBay results are either USA or poland.
Failing that are Koni sport shocks as good or better than the KYBs?

I've bought from Carfit in Poland a number of times. No issues and the delivery time is not too bad.

Last month I bought a set of AGX shocks from Carfit in Poland via eBay. Under a week to arrive via DPD.

Sounds good, was a bit wary of ordering from outside the uk without hearing any feedback

Thanks, contacted them but they need the original part numbers of the struts? Though they was all the same on UK classics.

Surprised they can't figure it out from their own catalog tbh. They do have a fitment cat somewhere and should just need to find your car in there

Don't underestimate excel-g's.
They're equivalent to agx on setting 2 front 4 rear.
Agx's are useful when controlling higher spring rate/bigger bar combinations.
If you've got the budget, the patience and the tools, get the Koni's.

Nowt wrong with Excel-Gs. I ran them with OEM springs on my MY93 classic and it was an excellent setup for the road.
