Adjusting my AGXs

Ninety-Nine SE-L · Dec 18th, 2002, 10:54 PM

hey, I just got my AGX dampers in the other day and I was wondering about the setting. I have prokits on my car already and The AGXs will help out for the suffering my stock dampers are going thru.

Now, I installed my front Struts yesterday and I'm going to be installing the rear ones tomorrow (when I get my motivational rear mounts). The front ones are 4 way adjustable and the rear ones are 8-way. I like the sporty feeling all the time out of my car and I was wondering where I should set the AGXs. Right now, I have the fronts all the way at 4 and even though it's stiffer, It's smoother than with the stockies. I like the feeling.

Is it ok to keep the shocks on the stiffest setting(might keep the 8-way at 6(?))? I might turn it down like before a long trip or on a date

, but can I leave it like that?

It may seem cool at first, but it will get old fast at those settings, I leave mine on 1/1 for daily driving, and only really change them for autocrossing. As it is they are still ten times stiffer than my car used to be. Feel free to experiment i guess, but most people I know have it on 1/1.

1/4 works great with my 300/200 springs. Full stiff is way TOO stiff for the street.

Typically softer settings in the front promote better turn in, at least it does on my car. They never move from 2 front and 5 rear unless I go to the drag strip, then the rears go to 8. This is on AGX/GC with 350/300 springs.

I was told before I got my springs that 2 (f) and 5 (r) were the softest we should use on the street....I never put mine on 1 in front because I heard it can get bouncy....
