KYB AGX ownes post your spring/setting combo.

Right now im running perrin springs at 2/4
I started at 1/1 wich wasnt bad but a bit floaty, so I bumped them up.
Just went for a spirited ride, and its much better, Its still very hard to notice that there is even any suspension mods in terms of harshness, its so smooth, its quite amazing. Untill you run it ***** to the wall in the corners, then its flat and as neautral as can be, I cant upset the balance even if I try.
Gonna run it 2/4 for a bit, and then go to the 3/6, if its still tolerable, ill go to 4/8
I also have the new HD whiteline rear endlinks, whiteline 20-24mm@ 20 mm and whiteline heavy duty mount kit.
205 50 16 Bridgestone Potenza RE730s.

perrin springs with 2/3 on agx (agx for WRX only has 4 settings) with anti-lift kit, whilteline front and rear sway bar with rear setting on the stiffest.
not too harsh under normal driving, and holds up well under cornering. lowers the car 1.9 front 1.5 rear, so for summer driving it is cool, but for winter out up in the snow a bit too low i think - _-a

Are you certain the AGX's for the WRX are only 4 way in the rear? I bought some from a dealer and they are 4way front and 8 way rear.
Anyway, i have 17" OZ's with Kuhmo MX's running on Eibach Pro Kit springs.
Anyway, the car is way too firm and stiff. I also replaced the rear sway bar with a whiteline adjustable.
Anyway have any recommendations for something not so harsh? I rarely do any track days, mostly just city driving with some highway and country roads mixed in there.

I just installed a set of Perrin Springs and KYB AGXs courtesy of GB Motorsports. Originally set up at 3 up front and 4 in the rear (WRX AGXs only comes w/ 4 settings in the rear). Handles like it a go-kart, but no fun driving in a 40 minute commute (made an appointment to get my fillings redone at the dentist). Best set up so far has been 2 upfront and 2 in the rear.

If the Eibachs are too harsh for you and you are running the struts at 2/2 or softer, you need to go back to stock, since that's about as soft as you can get with aftermarket suspension. The tire upgrade will still enable you to be quite fast on the backroads.
