Slammed, should I adjust to full soft or full stiff or middle?

I know being slammed isn't good for the struts, but was wondering if it would make any difference to adjust the struts to full soft, medium, or full stiff to get the better ride and better life out of the struts? I have AGX. I won't be riding this way for that long. Just an experiment. Thanks

No real difference based on your ride height. If it is too low and risks bottoming, then it is too low. You should make your adjustment to make the car ride and handle the best it can but the car being slammed likely will take it out of the realm that shock settings can have any positive effect.

I see. I slammed it today just for the hell of it and to snap some pics. Will most likely raise it back up over the weekend.
