Default I ordered my KYB's today!!!

I finally desided to get new struts!!!! My ride was becoming a little bouncy and spunggy from my stock struts with ground control. What are your guys sugestions on settings for them, I was thinking I would set it to 2 in the front and 1 in the back. How do you like these shocks compaired to Tokico and Koni, how does the ride feel? Any info on these would be nice, so LOTS of feed back!!!!

I've had mine on for about a month now and I really enjoy them. After playing around with them I have decided to set them on 3 all the way around. 4 feels good on the freeway but it is just too stiff around town. As for a comparison, I'm not the one to ask. These are the only aftermarket struts I've had on my car.

With my H&R OE-S, I ran 2 on the street. 1 seemed overly floaty over bumps. They went to 3/4 for autocross/track, depending on the course's requirements.

Johnny62,
what kind of springs do you have
I have 'Tech-5' springs on my car. So far I have only seen these springs available at a local speed shop. They drop the car about 2.25" and I really am impressed with them (although I would like my car to have a little more ground clearance).

To all AGX users...where is the stiffness adjuster switch located?
I've seen a few pictures of it, and apparently, the switch seems to be at the side of the shocks....?

I always thought these switches were located on top of the shocks, so you could adjust stiffness by popping the hood.

Some adjust on the side of the strut but the ones for the Integra adjust on the top of the shaft. So, all you need to do is pop the hood and adjust with a small screwdriver.
