Just got my KYB AGX and Progress Springs installed..

Wow! The handling is great! The car feels really solid and doesn't lean into turns anymore. I tried to install these myself but couldnt get past a couple of the control arm nuts, and ended up stripping them down. So I thought ah screw it leave it to the pros.

Anyway - couple questions:
First off where the is **** to adjust the AGX's stiffness located at? I can't remember where it was, and now that the wheels are in the way I can't see in there nor can I feel it with my hand back there.

Also, the car does not look very lowered, will the springs "settle in" causing the car to drop further?

Thanks

They should settle a little more. You will probably be satisfied with it then unless you are one of these that is expecting it to look like it is on sprints or coilovers.

The "dial" should be somewhere close to the ground on the AGX's. It is just a turn dial kind of looks like a clock. It should be pretty easy to find, just get under your car and look. (start on the front, because you can turn your wheels to allow you to get under there better without jacking it up.)

That's nice dm, that's what I was hoping mine would look like. So for the damping levels on the AGX, is 1 a harsher ride and 8 softer? Or the other way around?

The front adjustment is on the tip of the strut piston. 1 is stock, 4 is stiffest....use the little screwdriver to adjust the front dial. The rear is on the body of the strut 1 is stock, 8 is stiffest.....turn this **** by hand.
