I've had my KYB AGX's on my car for almost 4 months. I first rode on them at setting 1, then moved it to setting 2 like a week later. Then today I moved it to setting 3. What should it be on? I heard 1 and 2 are like stock ride, 3 and 4 are stiffer, but why would you do one over the other? What should I have mine at?

 

for daily driving use i set them to 1/1. if i feel like going out for a spirited drive i do 2/3 or 3/4. when i go autox i set them to 3/4.
1/1 is very smooth and comfortablbe, why have a rough ride when i dont need the full stiffness? thats the reason i got adjustables, so i could adjust the stifness when it was needed.

 

1 in front
2 in rear
stiffest i go on the street
track is different

 

all 4's for me. doesnt bother me and when i turn settings down, doesnt seem too much different when driving normally. maybe its because of the climate

 

3/4 all the time. drive a beater most of the time so the stiff setting doesn't bother me. plus i've never had any complaints from passangers

 

mine are always on 4. no one says n e thing and It seems to be easier to go over speed bumps without scraping.

 

on both shocks at the stiffest settings, which would be stiffer, Tokico Illuminas or KYB AGX?

 

quick qeustion...why stiffer for the real all the time...i always see...1/2 or 2/3 or 3/4..what would be the effect of the setting all even..1/1 , 2/2 , 3/3 , 4/4..or front stiffer...2/1 , 3/2 , 4/3...thanks..

 

A stiffer setting in the rear just helps reduce the under steer. Someone correct me if i'm wrong...

 

^ wanna know if thats true

what i've been taught.

 

i ride 3's all around

 

so does anybody kno if the illuminas are stiffer or the agx, both on the stiffest setting.

 

1/1 for daily driving
3/3 for agressive

Someone may be right about the 'stiffer' rear helping cars with understeer prob. I have a Susp Tech rear anti-sway and get a bit of oversteer, and the guys at the race forum recommended I run softer setting on the rear to help.

I'll try 3/2 or 4/3 next time and let you know.

 

I am either 4/4 or 3/4 all the time. It is not that stiff. It feels mild compared to other "stiff" cars I have rode in.

 

I run 3/4 with sportline springs

 

For daily driving I keep 'em at 2 all around. If I'm going for a "drive", I'll set them at 3/4.
4/4 makes my teeth rattle after a while...and I can't afford to keep getting my fillings put back in!

 

I used 1 in front and 2 in back to keep my ***-end planted better. The back would seem to roll more I guess becuase its higher and it felt alot tighter on 2.
