Ordered my suspension stuff, need advice
So yesterday I ordered all my suspension parts:
KYB AGX Shocks
Neuspeed Sport Springs
Progress Camber Kits
Once it all arrives I'm gonna put it all on during the christmas break sometime. I'll post some pics when I have it finished. My question was, what setting do you guys have your shocks on? I have a 5th gen coupe, and noticed many people on here with 5th gens use the AGX shocks. What's good for an agressive daily drive, and whats good for when you want all out performance?

On my tokicos i use 3/5 (out of 5) and once I used 1/5 on auto-x and the cars ass was very loose. I tapped the e-brake on a 90deg turn and instantly became perpendicular to the lane I was traveling in. :fawk: After u change the setting make a few fast/hard/safe turns in a parking lot or some safe place so u know what ur car wants to do.

drmmrboy87, I have the same setup as you since july, just without the camber kit. I have mine set to 2f/5r. It's stiff, handles well, but okay for everyday driving. 6 rear is a little too harsh for me.
As i recall when i researched, front goes by percentages 1= 100% (stock stiffness) 2 = 115% stiffer(so 15% more than stock) 3 = 132% 4 = 152%. And the rear goes by just increments of 1-8.
