Default KYB GR-2s Vs. KYB AGXs?

So...im looking to get some new suspension for my civic. I was thinking of going for ground control coilovers with AGXs since Ive had them before. But i saw the GR-2s going for cheaper...whats the difference betweent the two and anyone have experience using those combinations listed above? Any info?

GR-2s are basically replacement OEM struts.

AGX's have adjustable dampening. You obviously did not take advantage of this feature.

I heard that basically the only difference is one's adjustable and the other is fixed.

GR2 is an OEM replacement, where as AGX is more of a 'performance' strut.

I wouldn't lower the car on GR2s.

Yea, just save up the extra $100 or something and get the AGX.
