For those who are lowered with kyb AGXs

What settings did you put the front and the rears on? I am running intrax with almost a 2" drop and I live in California with horrible roads so I want some comfort. I just bought the AGXs and have no clue. Thanks for any info.

The words, "lowered, comfort & AGX's" should never be used in the same sentence.

It's impossible to achieve comfort under those cercumstances.

Your right, I should just cut the springs and give up.

3F/7R - good.

I tried 4F/8R, it rides like a skateboard.

It seems like 2 in the front is a popular route. Thanks for all the info. Northern California are f*#%ing terrible and anything's better than what I've got now.

Really? OK that's good to know cause out here the roads are freakin terrible. So #1 is still a "sport" type setting? In other words; is the car floaty? or too soft around corners? Thanks for the response.

I'm on 3f 6r for the street and used 4f 8r for the track. I would suggest that you try a setting for a few days then change it and see what you think. I've used about all the settings on the struts and found 3/6 best for how and where I drive. I found that the lower settings felt like they lacked enough rebound for the S-techs.

when i first tried 1 with the Canuck springs the front was bouncy (not enough rebound) so i had to run them on 2 up front. then after a few weeks or a month i messed around and ended up back to 1. the ride is good. i mean its as comfortable as possible on these struts. which in reality suck for street use because they are stiff anyhow. when you go to get a better ride you cant. the higher you go the compression and rebound both increase. the ride suffers and the wheels lose contact with the road since the rebound is to slow (a stiffer spring would need the extra dampening and rebound). basicly they are way over board for a street set up with mild progressive rate springs. i would buy illuminas if you drive on the street and occationally race.
