What setting did you put your shocks on?? i have it 2 on front and back. i dropped my car about 1.75ish. what setting should i put it on? and if so... why is that good setting??

Blue___Lude · 03-02-2002, 02:08 AM

3 in the front, 2 in the back

2+ inch drop

I get the most comfy setting with this...although I haven't tried any other setting combos...I had this setting previously on my Integ, and it seemed to work the best so I set it the same with my lude...

when you put on the kyb agx shocks is there an drop or can I have it set to stock height? I'm running eibach springs with 1.3 inch drop, 215/40/zr18 tires and had a lot of rubbing before shaving the wheel wells. Just wanna know before I buy.

I have them set on 3 in the front and 4 in the back. The Lude is a very heavy car and will bottom out especially in the back on interstates and high speed freeways. When I had the front set on 2, the front kept on bottoming out. This setting is harsh and very stiff, but it's my style.

You can set the AGX according to your 1.3 drop with Eibachs. I hear the combo is pretty good.

I have mine set on 1 in front and 3 in the back for my daily commute. I like it. Its pretty smooth. Sometimes I set it to 2 in front, 4 in back. Both of the settings I put it at gets rid of a lot of understeer.

I had it set on 2 in the front and 3 in the back, nice and firm ride,
now I have it at 1 all the way around just to mess around and man it rides sooooo smooth...... smoother then my gf's 96 accord!
Just mess around w/ the settings until you like it, or just set it depending on where you are driving

Got mine on for 3 weeks now. Still waiting to settle abit. Have them with H&R sports. now set at 2F-3B latter when I've put more km on them cause it's not a daily driver gonna go 3F-4B.

With these shocks i see the settings but, the i have lots of bad roads where a live many pot holes whats the best way.. the lower the number the better or the higher? why did you set the numer in the front lower than the back?

AmeenR · 03-05-2002, 08:52 AM

nothing but 4 up front and 4 in the back!

ShadowSonic · 03-05-2002, 08:54 AM

ya but what do the #'s mean?

AmeenR · 03-05-2002, 12:24 PM

On my AGX shocks, you can adjust them anywhere from 1 to 4 (1 being the lowest and 4 being the highest and stiffest setting)

I'm getting some wheel hop with my setup, I think the settings are around 2f,3r or 3f,2r either way should I stiffen the rear or stiffen the front, which setting will cause the most hop?

Tony · 03-05-2002, 08:55 PM

I see a few of your are going against the manufacturer's warranty warning of dropping lower than 1.75"....how is it holding up? I plan on using these with my nuespeed race springs, anyone using this setup on an SH?

Heat Rave R · 03-06-2002, 03:44 AM

I have 3 up front to minimize dip on the numerous driveways I encounter on my daily routine and 2 in the rear.

moneypit · 03-06-2002, 01:24 PM

I have the neuspeed sport 1.25" drop with stock shocks and I'm allways scraping off driveways and speedbumps with my stock rims. I wish I had never installed them, or waited until I could get some bigger rims.

Greek Lude · 03-06-2002, 01:33 PM

What do rims have to do with scraping?

Heat Rave R · 03-06-2002, 01:56 PM

Bigger wheels (presumably with lower profile tires) would mean less tire flex, and depending on size, a higher ride height. As as an extreme example, think of it like putting some 13x5's on a heavy car.

Greek Lude · 03-06-2002, 02:16 PM

You mean go for the 4 X 4 look with a larger tottal Diameter? hehe You don't want to do that. You'll ruin your performance and make that mini comercial come true. I'll put my money on the little guy.

Greek Lude · 03-06-2002, 02:17 PM

If he kept the tottal diameter the same with low profiles then that would not save him from scraping. He'd probably rub too cause of the smaller offset.
