Default daily driver kyb agx settings?

my car is a daily driver and im going more for good stiff handling but dont it too harsh, theyre not on the car yet and i havent driven it with the settings all the way up and i dont know, maybe 7 all around wont be too bad.

i want the car nice and stable and be able to take turns without alot of body roll and certainly do not want it to ride like a cadillac. i have bfg kdws which should grip good so these should help also. do i go a little softer in the rear and stiff in the front? what settings are you guys running and hows the ride?

forgot to mention that i had full suspension and was never under 400rwhp so that might make a difference.

so 7 on all 4 isnt bad then? because like ssfast99 was saying about his setup, seems alot of people have them a bit softer in the back. im wondering what the reason for this is.

The back doesn't have have weight of the engine to contend with so the shocks can be set softer in back but in theroy will be reacting more like the front shocks that had to compensate for the motors weight.

alright thanks dude, so it probably would be a good idea to have the back set down a notch or 2?

Yeah I'd try 7/5 or 7/4 and work from there depending on how it feels to you. I can take look tonight once I'm home but I think mine were on 7/5
before swapping to the strano springs and I've been happy with it so far.

when i get mine put on, first day will be full hard, second will be full soft, then i will start playing with them. i just want to see the full spectrum of how they react then decide how i want them adjusted for daily driving.

for the track i'm thinking you will want them to be full soft in front and full hard in back.

Started out with 6 front, 5 out back. Bumped the back up to 6 too because I have close to zero compression travel with Intrax springs in the rear.

I'd like to know how people with AGX's on stock height like them. I want Koni's but, damn! that's a ton of money.

Ive had them for a couple years now, and What a difference over stock shocks and stuts. I wasnt too picky, so i'd just leave em on 8 all the time. and then play with em before i raced anyone. I liked that solid feeling, especially around turns

Test them out yourself and switch them up until you are personally happy.
