Default KYB AGX adjustments 4 or 8 way??????

I know this wasy probably covered a million times and i did search and looked around elsewhere on the internet but.....

Are the KYB AGXs' for the 96-00 civics 4-way adjustable or 8-way adjustable???? I keep seeing people say both so i'm confused as to what they really are.

Thanks for any info!!!!

it depends on if you talk front or rears, as they both have a different # of adjustments. I believe the rears are 8 and fronts are 4

Do you have an EG? I've heard they only have 4 adjustments on each corner, while the EKs have 4/8 f/r.

FYI, i got this info from KYB about a month ago when i bought my shocks...


The AGX products have the following approximate damping force values.
When adjusted, both rebound and compression damping forces change.

Setting#:
Relative Value
1 - Same as Factory 100

2 - Same as our GR2 products (10~15% firmer than Factory) 115

3 - 50% firmer than #2 172

4 - 30% firmer than #3 223


For an eight position adjustable product, the damping force values are
approx.
the following:
With #2 being Factory at a relative value of 100,


#1 = 95 (5% softer than Factory #5 = 143.5 (43.5% firmer
than Factory)
#2 = 100 (Factory damping force) #6 = 172 (72% firmer
than Factory)
#3 = 107.5 (7.5% firmer than Factory) #7 = 197.5 (97.5 firmer
than Factory)
#4 = 115 (15% firmer than Factory)(GR-2) #8 = 223 (123 % firmer
than Factory)
