The AGX are adjustable
The GR2 are not
I don't know if the actual quality is any different.
Adjustable dampening doesn't really seem to be necessary unless your doing auto-x/track stuff but a lot of people (myself included) would like adjustability anyway.

Here (http://www.accessconnect.com/how.htm) and Here (http://www.tokicogasshocks.com/suspension/components.html) are links to how shocks and stuts work.

Adjustable shocks allow you to make them stiffer.

Everything I have read about the KYB's is that the GR2's are basically just stock replacements and only give you better performance b/c they are newer, whereas the AGX has MUCH better dampening abilities when compared to the GR2's.
