Folks,

THose of you with KYB AGXs, do you have the rear shocks with the adjustments toward the inside of the car? Or closer to the wheel?

I put mine sticking out, towards the car, not the wheel so thatr I can reach under and see what I am turning it to. Does it really even matter?

Thoughts on my upgrade will come tomorrow. My hands hurt too much to type anymore.

I put mine facing inward, as in not pointing twards the wheel. I thought it would be easier to get my hand around the back of the shock to make adjustments, then in between the wheel and the shock.

End result, you can reach around the back of the wheel/shock and turn the dial. Just keep in mind - clockwise is harder, counter clockwise is softer.

 

mine is facing inward...I think thats the way it is supposed to be.

How do you guys like these shocks ??

compaired to brand new stock

cost ??

where did you get em ??

thanks guys

 

LOVE them. Got them from Cattman, $400 shipped. Get them!

are you left or right handed? Do whatever is easier for you.

 

I LOVE mine. Still havent put on the front ones yet, but I will be soon. BTW, I have mine facing the wheel.

 

i have mine facing the wheel. BUT i can reach through my rim and turn them. i just stick my head behind the tire and my hand through the rim and turn

i like them and recommend them to you as well. they are stiffer than stock but i like it that way

 

custommaxima.com has them for $380 I think.

I got mine from Cattman for $380. I used 2nd day air and paid about $50 more for faster shipping.

Put them on this weekend (9 total hours). Never did Macpherson struts before. Kinda interesting with the spring compressors. Very little room to deal with when you don't use compressors that are made for the car.

The ride at setting 1 (Front) and 2 (Rear) (1-4 in front with 4 being the stiffest and 1-8 in rear with 8 being the stiffest) yields a very controllable ride. Road undulations are controlled very nicely with the AGX's and H&Rs. Ride is quieter as well. The stiffest setting you tend to feel the nooks and cranies of the road surface. Love them!

To summarize, this is how I feel about KYB-AGXs:
#1 setting : controlled
#2 setting : taut
#3 setting : firm
#4 setting : rock solid

I highly recommend getting them from CattMan performance.

 

hehe, I have my rears set at 4. They dont feel to bad. I am probably going to put them at 6 when I put my fronts on.

 

just got my agx's and h&r's installed...thanks matthel and alex.

initially, i have the fronts set at 2 of 4 and the rears 4 of 8.

chuck gonwa at kyb forwarded to me
these setting relationships:

[The lower the number, the softer the setting.
Basically, for a 4 position adjustable:

#1 = Factory level
#2 = 15% firmer than Factory
#3 = 50% firmer than #2
#4 = 30% firmer than #3

For and 8 position, these values would be at 2,4,6,& 8 with a finer
adjustment in between.]

hope this helps...enjoy!

 

who would help me install mine in the spring ??
ill buy lunch ??
