kyb agx settings

what setting do you run with your agx's and how do they feel? any feedback is great. i have 2 all around for mostly street driving but i just want other people's settings to see if i should change.

On my RS I've only had my AGX + Eibach springs on for about 2 weeks. I set it on 1 all around to break the springs in. For regular driving I go 2 front and 4 rear. Going out for a drive in the twisties I like 3 front 5 rear. Save the 4 front 8 rear setting for really smooth roads or on the track.

airzoom411- to get to the rear struts, you have to take out the back seats. To adjust the settings, use flat head screw driver that came w/ the KYB AGXs. Simply push down on the adjustment button, then turn. Line up the white dot to which ever setting you want. My recommendation is 2 front/ 3 rear for daily driving. Setting them up at 4 all around may be a bit too hard.

Somewhat related: I read once somewhere that the GR2's are exactly the same as the AGX's on the 3 setting (or maybe 2).
Has anyone else heard of this?

The GR2's are more like the 2 setting from what I heard. Not much stiffer than stock.

Thumbs up agx settings

Setting 1 is like stock, setting 2 is 50% stiffer than 1. Setting 3 is 30% stiffer than setting 2. And setting 4 is like having coil overs. Three all around works for me.
