KYB Adjustable shocks
KYB Adjustable shocks I got my rear shocks today but the instructions might as well be in chinese, how do I know where to adjust them to for the street and the drag strip?
I got the specs, thought I would share them. They are KYB AGX
#1 = (5% softer than Factory #5 = (43.5% firmer than Factory)
#2 = (Factory damping force) #6 = (72% firmer than Factory)
#3 = (7.5% firmer than Factory) #7 = (97.5 firmer than Factory)
#4 = (15% firmer than Factory)(GR-2) #8 = (123 % firmer than
Factory)

I wouldn't install those shocks on my lawn mower, I tried two different sets and both were way too soft ( even set on number 8 ). Go with the Bilsteins, JMO.

Keep us updated on this. I'm thinking about them for my car, with a set of ProKits. I"ve read alot of posts that say Koni or Bilsteins, but I think that alot of people jump on the band wagon and just say that cause thats what everyone else says. I dont plan on drag racing, I dont X cross, I just drive my car to work and home and on the highway, so if it's not the firmest in the world I dont car. My friends with 3rd gen have them with the pro kits and they love them. I can't imagine a 3rd gen is much differen't in weight then a 4th.
So let me know what you think of them.

Not sure what would be a good setting for you for drag racing though.... maybe go to a test n tune and muck around with different settings. Settings have a lot to do with personal preference. That's the beauty of being adjustable
I'm assuming the fronts you'd want turned down pretty low?
