KYB-AGX Strut and RS-R Install - Page 2

Just an update...Setup still is strong and running a setting of 8 in the rear was really good during the summer since the tires have a little more stick. Now that the weather has gotten colder going down to a 6 setting. As for the 4 setting in the front made for a really hard ride over bumps, down to a 2 now. Also checked all bolts and connections about 3 months ago and found the front strut bolts had come loose Just had to re torque them.

Setup was under 800. And yes the driving regular is very predictable. If I want ti to get loose I can if I am hard in a corner it stays stuck. Most of the slipping I was feeling was due to hard tire compound and cold temps. I have a softer compound set of tires for the colder weather better grip.

Great writeup. I put AGX's and Tein S-Techs on my S14 last winter. Like you, the rear is still a little loose. I was thinking a new set of sways would keep the traction a little better. have you done anything besides sruts/springs?

Thanks. I am Working on a Turbo setup. but suspension wise I havent yet. Considering doing solid bushings on the rear and seeing how that does. I am thinking that will help with the loose rear. Ill keep this upto date if I do. Or like you maybe a new sway bar.
