I have the GC/AGX setup on my car and was wondering what some of you have yours set on that have this setup? I have tried messing around with it, but I can't find a good compromise between too stiff and being too bouncy (soft). Here is a pic of how low my car is. Is there a happy medium? Or will I just have to endure the stiffness being this low? Thanks for any comments.

 

i would just go stiff as ****

 

I have mine set on 4 and it still is too bouncy/soft

You have 3 options:

- Raise the car
- Stop being a pansy and deal with the uncomfortable ride
- Spend more money to get shocks that are shorter than OEM length

 

I think that's why a lot of people go with Koni because there is no medium with AGX. Personally I would lean more towards stiff. If it's your daily beater then go with soft settings.

 

When I have my Koni's on full soft, I don't get bouncy. Its actually really comfortable. When I turned them full stiff, that's when it got uncomfortable on the street and feeling every little bump.

What spring rates are you using?

 

i hav an EK hatch also with AGX's my settings are 7 in the back and 3 in the front i love the handling its nice

 

I just have the off-the-shelf GC kit.

 

I found the #3 setting on the fronts and #5 in the back works fine for the street. The more you lower your car the less travel you have available for your shocks to work so keep that in mind when you're thinking about slamming a car.

 

Would the Ground Control upper mounts help the car to ride better? I really don't want to raise it up.

It would help the shocks from bottoming out riding that low. Just drive 2 all around. If you have a fairly new coilovers, it might settle down a bit more and the will be more better. I know mine did and mine is that low too

 

i have EK gc's and agx on my eg... i run 2 in the fornt, 4 in the back, and im pretty ok with, lowered to about 1 finger gap all the way around. if you dont like the ride quality, raise it up. it rides better than stock if you have the GC adjusted all the way up (i did it for snow clearance)
