Default Those with KYB AGX

I've had my KYB AGX's on my car for almost 4 months. I first rode on them at setting 1, then moved it to setting 2 like a week later. Then today I moved it to setting 3. What should it be on? I heard 1 and 2 are like stock ride, 3 and 4 are stiffer, but why would you do one over the other? What should I have mine at?

for daily driving use i set them to 1/1. if i feel like going out for a spirited drive i do 2/3 or 3/4. when i go autox i set them to 3/4.
1/1 is very smooth and comfortablbe, why have a rough ride when i dont need the full stiffness? thats the reason i got adjustables, so i could adjust the stifness when it was needed.

all 4's for me. doesnt bother me and when i turn settings down, doesnt seem too much different when driving normally. maybe its because of the climate

A stiffer setting in the rear just helps reduce the under steer. Someone correct me if i'm wrong...

1/1 for daily driving
3/3 for agressive

Someone may be right about the 'stiffer' rear helping cars with understeer prob. I have a Susp Tech rear anti-sway and get a bit of oversteer, and the guys at the race forum recommended I run softer setting on the rear to help.

I'll try 3/2 or 4/3 next time and let you know.

I am either 4/4 or 3/4 all the time. It is not that stiff. It feels mild compared to other "stiff" cars I have rode in.

For daily driving I keep 'em at 2 all around. If I'm going for a "drive", I'll set them at 3/4.
4/4 makes my teeth rattle after a while...and I can't afford to keep getting my fillings put back in!

I used 1 in front and 2 in back to keep my ***-end planted better. The back would seem to roll more I guess becuase its higher and it felt alot tighter on 2.
