Default Prodrive bilstein Or KYB AGXs

want to upgrade the suspension as its getting a bit tired ,
only have a limited budget so i have a choice of 2 for what i want to spend Choice 1 New KYB AGXs and eibach springs £480
Choice 2 Used Prodrive bilstein suspension £450

tempted to go for the KYBs as it will be new and its adjustable and heard good reports on it

Prodrive is second hand in good condition ,again good reports

any thoughts or advice from those who have used either of the above ?

Thanks Gary

I have KYB AGXes on my car, what I value most is the possibilty to run a firmer setup on track days. They are easy to adjust, as the rear shocks have the adjuster **** at the bottom. However, there isn't separate bump/rebond adjustment, which makes the dampers 'too slow' at the stiffest setting.

I suspect that the Prodrive Bilstein dampers are better tuned to the car.
