I wouldn't expect the AGX to be the same quality as the ExcelG, because they are for different applications. And there are other matters in the design of a damper that would make it more appropriate for race use that aren't under discussion here. For instance you would expect a race damper to be monotube by design, which by definition would call for tighter design tolerances, especially in insert applications. Also a race damper would be repairable, internally adjustable (the proper way to do it ). And so on. You are probably right as far as rubber components are concerned etc. And then a soon failed KYB seal would prove that.

So its a matter of relativity, I argue that the ExcelG is to AGX as AGX is to TRD. However its all hearsay as we dont know any of the data about the manufacturing materials and internal design. I can only assume they are different. If I was TRD, and I made a shock specifically for a car, and I had a manufacturer produce it for me on contract, I would NEVER allow that manufacturer produce an identical product branded AGX at a cheaper price. If that info went into the market, and was validated, then my TRD product would be severely compromised (in many ways).
