    As far as what I have read in my research for new struts, they are manually adjusted.

    they have oil inside for damping, and they are charged with nitrogen gas. as far as I know they're all the same.

    nope, there's no way on the AGX to refill the oil or the gas. The adjustment is internal and I think just changes how the oil flows through the valve...

    all AGX if bought new, comes with a life time warrenty. ebay is the cheapest i've seen so far, or on nasioc, some people buy em new and just don't use them, sells them for 50-100 less than retail.

    I picked up mine on Ebay as well. decent cheap alternative to Koni's or Ohlins I hear. Mine are on a Miata, but they get plenty of AutoX and Road Course use.

    We used them on the rally car to good effect. They can be pretty tough for how affordable they are, and if they go it's easy to buy new ones. I also had a set on the RS-T paired with the Eibach springs. Pretty harsh ride even on the low dampening settings but man were they fun on smooth tarmac.

    FWIW the lifetime warranty is for manufacturing defects. Regular wear or abuse won't net you new ones.
