KYB AGX's what are your settings?

I just installed mine yesterday along with Sprint springs. I set them at 3 front and 4 rear. What does everyone set there at for everyday driving? Also include spring type.

i'm no sprints and i stay at 4/8, then sometimes if i am going to haul i put the fronts on 1 and keep the backs on 8, cause i do not like changing them.

I am going to try to get up with you soon. I want to see about getting some of those rear strut mounts. I am also going to get some urethane bushings, thought you might like to help me install those. Oddly enough, my interests have now taken me away from racing. Since I am on the road so much, (I have already put 37K on that motor) I decided to get back into car stereo competition. That way I can enjoy my car as I drive my weekly average 1000 miles.
I do hwever want it to handle good. The combo is a bit bouncy for my tastes, but not too bad. I figure when I get the settings right, it should take care of most of that.

I have H&Rs and I have my AGXs set at 1 front and 6 rear. This is the reason: The Maxima has a natural tendency to understeer. Stiffening the rear suspension reduces the understeer, so I keep the fronts on the softest setting and crank the rears down pretty tight for better handling.

GCs and AGX... i have 3F and 6R i think...

With the GCs, the ride gets a lil stiffer, but the HIGH A$$ spring rate really makes it just as stiff with any setting that you put it on...

any of you guys have any recomendations on what settings to use for agx and intrax springs. intrax are supposedly a stiffer type sring so i was thinking of maybe 2 front and 5 or 6 rear. anyone using this setup.

Currently 2 front and 4 rear, and riding on H&R's. I am looking forward to getting the rear shock mounts that Mzmtg is selling, they will help out in getting rid of some of the stiffnes in the back.

i had mine set at 1/1 for a looong time and bumped it up to 3/4 for a more sporty ride. But i may go back to my old setup with H&R's...

Magikone69: for the front its a personal thing i ran them on 1 daily, but the rear needs 4 or higher b/c of the lack of wheel travel, unless you get some rear mounts (hint hint).


cut front intrax im on 2, the rear Eibachs are at 1.

Eibachs are 1 all around daily.
