I have mine set a 2/4. If the roads weren't so shitty around here i'd run them on a higher setting.

How low is your car? I've heard that the AGX's don't handle drops below 2" very well. Just FYI. Good shocks overall. Great shocks for the money!

I couldn't be happier with my AGX's. I swapped out a set of 80k Tokico HP's. The G5 civic's only have a 1-4 adjustability. I run 2 all the way around. 4's all the way around is pretty wicked, but really annoying for daily use. (the old, needle following the grove of a record effect)

the directions say the warranty is void if you lower more than 1.5", mines about 2" now.

DragIIcivic: didn't you get the Integra ones instead? What size and how many washers did you need for the rear LCA to make the rear shocks fit?

Shouldn't matter if you got the ones for the Integra or 5G Civic, right?
As far as shocks go, I think part numbers should be the same.
Most other brands have the same part numbers for both Integra and Civic.
Now I'm curious too. What's the scoop Mr. DragII?

The 3G teg and 5G civic have directly swappable suspension both front and rear. However, the rear shock is different on 6G civics. The tegs should fit, but I think some washers are needed.
