I would like to start with a few questions

Now, the AGX's adjust 4 ways in the front. And 8 ways in the back right ?

1 is the softest, 4 is the hardest?? and 1 is the softest, and 8 is the hardest in rear? Is that right ?

So, can you adjust these shocks on the street by just turning that dial thing ?

Also, for GOOD handling, but a GOOD ride, what should they be set at ? Also, how do you know what they are currently at? Is there somewhere where it says ?

If it helps to know what setting for GOOD handling, but GOOD ride, I will be using H&R Sport Springs I plan to drive spiritedly but, i dont want my head smashing the roof on a bump or jerk.

2 in the front, 4 in the back. So just, like around half way stiff on rear and back then eh?

Thanks for the input

what year is your car? they were only 8 way adjustable in the rear for 96 and up civics. Anyway mine are set at f4/r6.

Si Arn

yea I have a 1998 Civ coupe. So you have your front set damn stiff right ?

i would also like to know what is the best setting for this these shocks. I have mine set at 1/1 right now, what should they be at?

743

yup, when I had my d16 i had them set at f3/r6. But after I put in the b16 I took the front to 4. I'm running the kyb's with neuspeed race springs.

its more of a question of what is comfy for you. You have to adjust them to your liking, but use these guys examples as a start.

Agreed, I like my suspension stiff and responsive, that is why I use the higher settings. Plus I like listening to my girlfriend bitch about the rough ride, ha.

Is a 1/1 setting really shitty?

Jdm93civic

i have mine set to 2 in the front and 4 in the rear...its a smooth ride...u usally stiffen the back for a smoother ride...or else it will be real bouncy if it is less stiff in the back..

full soft in front, full stiff in rear. stiffer isn't always better.

Dan GSR

when i had them
i ran full stiff all around
loved that setting

I have mine set to 3f/5r, or 2f/4r when somebody starts whining.

Surprisingly it's pretty comfortable on my softer settings, and handles pretty nice on the stiffer settings considering they're only one notch apart so I may have found the sweet spot. I've never turned it to full stiff cause I only have OE ITR springs.

I have mine mated to the Eibach Pro-Kit
I usually have mine set to 3f/4-5r or 4f/6r; it all depends how i feel and who is in the car with me. For longer highway trips i set them to 1f/1r, which is really comfortable on the highway.

I changed mine all the time when I had them, but I think I kept them around 3/6 for the most part. I kinda liked the stiff ride. It was a little rough but not bouncy with my eibach pro-kit.

i have mine set at 2F/3R. i think it feels really nice for daily driving. i have no complaints here.

my car sits on ground controls and the drop is set so that i have half a finger gap all around (sorry, not too sure what that is inches).

slammed_93_hatch

depending on how high my car is when it is at normal height its 3 up front 4 in the rear. when its dumped its 2 in the front and 1 in th eback

Alstare

I ran 2F/4R for normal daily driving driving...

Drag racing 1-2F/8R always worked best...

AutoX/road course I ran 3F/7R...

But switched to TEIN flex's and never looked back...

Si Arn

Alstare! Did you still have nice handeling at that setting ?

Alstare

At which one?

2/4??? Yeah it was a nice mix between handeling an comfort...

I still think the TEIN SS's are the way to go though for an affordable good suspension.

You get a good dampner, spring, true coilover system, adjustable dampning, all for alot less then you'd pay to buy everything seperate.

SS's can be had really cheap lately... Alot of people are happily running them on here.
