Default KYB AGX - Front only...

I got a great deal from a forum member on front KYB AGX's. Is there any reason why I should wait until I get new rear shocks instead of installing the AGX's with the stockers? If not, any suggestions on settings?

Go ahead and put them in. It won't hurt anything. Now if you were planning new springs and already had the shocks, I would say wait until you got springs. Rear shocks are so easy to change, you can do them whenever.

Yeah should take you NO MORE than 20mins to swap rear shocks.

Toss on the fronts and set them to 4, stock springs, and 5-6 on lowered springs it will feel good for a DD.

When you get the rears set then to 3. Rides like butter.

One thing to remember the rougher the road, the softer the setting. The flatter the road the higher you can go. Setting one is just a hair better than the stock shocks when new.

Yep, I figured the rears were a piece of cake, so I'll do the rear myself. For some reason I'm starting to get lazy and don't feel like doing the front. Gotta get an alignment anyway so I may have the shop do the front.

Hmmm, look what I just found. I bet my order doesn't go through, but the quantity dropped by two after I ordered.

Dam! I have the KYB AGX up front but had already installed Sachs on back! Oh well they work fine.

Default Wrong price

Well, it was just like I thought. Wrong price was listed by Amazon and the KYB folks notified me. Gonna pitch bitch with Amazon to see if they'll honor the posted price.
