I have KYB AGX...my dampening is at 1/2 way

Dampening adjustment: if i bump up my dampening level to super stiff, and keep it that way, will it blow them out? (i live on a 7 mile long bumpy road)

and will parking it on a kinked, un-level ground spot (rear wheel sometimes in mid air-spot) wear them out also?

thanks a lot



i know...wrong section...but i would like my question answered within a few weeks! lol

 

any kind of those will wear them out sooner or later. if your not going to drive your car like its on the track, i dont think you need to put it on the stiffest level.

 

cool, thats what i figured. my commute IS a track haha

so i guess my question would be the life id expect out of them? i think mine have about 20K miles so far

 

please correct me if im wrong, coilovers are more likely to be blown out. struts will last longer. the AGX are one of the best aftermarket struts, like the koni yellow, and billstein. also one of the cheapest

 

i think it would depend alot on the kind of springs you're running too. if you were running stock springs on the kybs, you'd get alot more life out of them than say stechs or something.

 

i have eibach...pro kit? i dont know, they came with my car. im just trying to get my car to handle better, i think it sucks right now:

my bumper is chewed up from bottoming out on turns and my car isnt even low

and i have body roll like a **** (cusco rear sway, stock front)

 

get bigger sway bars Kyle. I have the AGX on my wagon with USDM STi pink springs(basically a stock STi spring for wagons) and I don't get that much body roll. Hell, you've ridden in my car, you know!

 

haha yeah it definately feels better than mine! my cusco rear is on stiffest setting.
what settings for your agx matt? autoX and street?

mine is front: 2 of 4 and rear: 4 of 8

i think my stock front sway is whats killing me...and my bumper lip

 

4 in the front, 3 in the rear, all the time.

 

damn your scraping and bumping around on agx? i have the eibach pro kit on mine with stock springs and just a rear sway bar and mine isnt bumpy or bottoming out

i was going to buy some agx's but now im not so sure haha

 

well the AGX are awesome i think, for rallyX i soften them up all the way and it was gushier than my moms OBS stock suspension, really plush.

When i scrape, i mean like uphill hairpins, some dips, i just need to slow down for those
