Your KYB AGX settings?
What do you set your AGX's to? I'm trying to find the right setting. Right now I'm at:
SPRINGS: H&R OE Sports
FRONT: 2/4
REAR: 4/8
TYPE OF DRIVING: Street (daily driving)
(don't forget to mention your springs and type of driving)

At first, I did 2/4 and 4/8 but that kinda got me sick on our sucky freeways. Too firm.
So I went 1/4 and 2/8. A lot more comfy and I didn't get sick, but it got more bouncy.
Now I'm at 2/4 and 2/8 and loving it. Next, I'll play with the rear again. One thing though, I though that stiffening front and loosening rear increases understeer problems. So I"m thinking my setup is goof for commuting, but bad for the track/autox.

Winter it's 1/4 front and 2/8 rear
Summer it's 3/4 front 6/8 rear.
H&R OE Sports
I also have the SI rear swaybar and a Neuspeed front upper strut tie bar. Handling is decent. On long trips I have to turn them down to my winter setting though or else I get sick too.

Hey wait... 1/4 2/8 is LOOSER than 3/4 6/8. The higher the number the stiffer isn't it?

Uhm, yeah, I must have been tired last night when I wrote that... :thinking: Yeah, that's it.
h: Switch the Summer and Winter figures around.
How do you like the springs so far? I thought the handling was greatly improved over stock.
Do you have and problems with bounce in the front end when you come to a stop? I did at first, but switched out the front strut mount rubbers with new OEM and it went away. I was trying to find some Energy mounts, but could only find them in the big kit for the entire car. Have you seen them around?
Stay away from the KYB strut mounts, they are like Jello.
