Default AGX n Sportlines rides kinda rough ...???

i have lowered my ride with kyb agx shocks...and eibach sportlines...
i haven't gotten an alignment yet though....or camber or whatever i need...

but its really rough on the roads in NJ...is it suppose to be rough...
the handle is like excellent...but the front is like feeling all the bumps and holes on the ghetto NJ streets...highway is pretty smooth though...

the AGX shocks are adjustable at the rear...if i fiddle around with tha dampner will it make the ride any smoother...?

You have the same probelm I had with my former car, a Integra also. I had Eibach Sportline with Tokico Non-adjustable struts. The ride was harsh like hell, and I had 16"rims at that time with 45's tires. So I got rid of them for gsr rims with 15" and 50's and the ride was a little better but still harsh. I could never figure out what was the problem,,,,,but oh well, I got rid of the car. However, I was told that it may be because of the bump stop. You are suppose to trim some of the bump stops according to what kind of car you have. The shop that installed my springs and struts never trimed the bumpstops. Your Eibach papers/installation instructions has a sheet that tells you how much to trim off the bumpstop. HTH.

Thats what happens when you lower a car. BTW, the agx shocks are supposed to be adjustable all the way around, not just the back.

What are your AGX's at now?

AGX shocks are adjustable from 1-4 (4 settings). 1 is softest, 4 is stiffest. Most people who want an improvement over stock, but not bone-jarring ride, set them at 2 all the way around. A setting of 1 is supposed to be approximately equal to the stiffness of stock Integra shocks.

I like to leave mine at 1 all around, 2 is a little bouncy, at least here on the terrible roads of Memphis, TN it is.

Stiffer shocks and springs are rougher on bumpy roads, but it's a compromise that you have to make. My AGXs are set at 3f and 4r and I don't think that they're that rough.

I got mine from JC whitney and the fronts are adjustable. The adjustment is on the top of the rod that sticks out of the shock. It should have come with a small screwdriver the you push in and turn till the white dot points to the desired setting.

The stock#'s from JC Whitney are wrong from what I've seen people post on the net. For the Teg, they are 4-way adjustable with a screwdriver on top, not a dial. And there are supposed to be 3 stock#'s - one for the front left, front right and rears (same).
