Neuspeed sports and KYB AGX getting weak?
Hey guys. I got neuspeed sports and kyb agx's for about 5 months now. The struts are set at 2f/5r. I drive agressively most of the time and love the way it handles, but the question I have is, when they were first on, I would take off from a red light and I wouldn't feel the rear dip down at all. But when I take off now from a stop, the rear dips a little as my OEM setup. Is it me or has the setup(spring or struts) loss some stiffness from only 5 months??? Thanks.
BTW I know I could increase stiffness in the back more but I just want to know if what is happening is common.

Maybe your aggressive driving has worn your suspension a little. Adjust the setting and don't drive so hard. :dunno: Do you take corners hard?
The rear could be dipping from the massive amount of horsepower & torque that you have. j/k :chuckles:

Dont mean to get off topic, but Im about to get my AGXs and was curious about the best setting for stiffness? Is it the higher the numbers (i.e 2f 5r) the more stiffness? Thanks

i had the same feelin with my ground control/tokico illumina setup...i think it's probably a combonation of the setup settling, and the driver getting used to the mod. I had to set my stiffness from 3 front and rear to 4, cuz 3 just didn't feel stiff enough anymore. I dont think 3 changed, i think i just got used to it.
