hey i just installed my new kyb agx shocks yesterday and i was wondering what most people ran for the 1-4 setting like just for daily driving?im looking for the best ride... well let me know please thank you....

 

I'm running 2's in the front and 4's in the back. I guess it's the "median" setting, but it feels realy nice if you're just driving around.

If your daily driving includes a lot of "fun" roads, however, I'd probably set it at 2's and 6's. Too bad roads around here are all straight!!

Oh yeah it also depends on your springs! Stiffer springs = rougher ride

 

Yeah, really depends on what you want. STill working on my front end, bu I keep the back on 1 or 2 depending on how aggressive I feel that day. When I go up to the mountains, I usually do 3 at most, but that's halfway because 4 allows the rear end to slip out under turning-braking. But yeah, for daily driving, it's 1 or 2.

 

1 all around for daily...how hard can u drive in the street anyway?

 

You'd be surprised at some teenage drivers. Alright, I retract that statement. Not all teenagers, and not all ARE teenagers. But you get my drift.

But seriously, 1 is fine unless you have your wheeltubs cut out and you can't have wheel rub or something...

 

k thanks guys

im 17...what are u tryin to say?

 

Re-read my statement. I'm not here to start a fight.

 

4f & 8r...(civic settings)...(full stiff). Trying to keep up with my Skunk2 Coilover spring rates...lol.

 

You've got quite the hard *** on your car...just be careful around turns with a rear-biased setup like that. It can be easy to lose the rear in a braking-turn. You can tone that 8 down, though, it won't hurt anything...

No it's not biased. That's a 4f/4r setting. AGX for 96-00 civics have 4 way front and 8 way rear adjustibility. Your eg/dc only has 4 way all around. So your 4 = our 8 in the rear, your 1 = our 2 in the rear, our 5 = your 2.5 which you don't have.

 

haha, ***. I didn't know they were 8 and 4, I figured it'd be like mine (EF, BTW) 4 around or 8around, not mixed. Oh well. Either way, I toned mine down to like 2, sometimes 3...just too rough, and i hvae the skunk2 racing coils as well.

 

it really doesnt matter, the adjustments on the agx are very small. yes the rear is 8 way, but the actual dampening does not vary much at all. i would just keep them all at 1 to prolong the life of the shocks.
