Default KYB AGX Setting......what do you guys have them set on?

I have the AGX's and GC adjustable springs. I have the car lowered about 2", and all the shocks set on 4 (the softest setting). Im just wondering what you guys have had luck with as far as setting the shocks to a certain level.

You sure 4 is the softest setting? On mine, 4 is the harshest. I've got the rears at 4 and the fronts at 1 (soft).

From what I have riden in, 4 in the back hardest and 3 up front is pretty good. I havn't felt the softest setting. Have you noticed a big difference?
OT: thats a lot nice cars you had there in your profile.

With the fronts at 1, roadholding is incredible, especially through turns (which is why I've got it set at 1/4). You will absolutely notice a difference if you have the front at 1 and the rear at 4.

bump, i have the AGX's with a pro-kit being installed soon. I just want to know and maybe provide others with more options when searching. I searched but didn't find much. I'll probably end up trying out different settings myself. IS having the front stiffer than the back going to be a problem? everyon seems to have the back stiffer.

yeah it is better to have the front set softer. when the front is set harder you will get alot of wheel hope on a launch.

also one trick i found on those shocks is after a while you will notice that they seem to get softer. you can help with this by changing the settings for a day and then go back to your setting. like if you have it set at 8 change it to one and then back to 8. i guess it just shifts the internals and makes it harder again.

just my .02

if you can't tell what setting you like the most, it obviously doesn't matter.
