KYB AGX struts

It looks close... I mean, I know with 1F and 2R that's OEM.
Then I know the stiffness for 2 up front matches 4 in the rear. 3 up front matches 6 in the rear. And finally 4 up front matches 8 in the rear. So what you have seems right.

As for the actual numbers... I'm drawing a blank but yours look close at least.

I have KYB AGX w/ Hyperco B14 springs, Koni Bumpstops, Motivational Engineering rear shock mounts, and some Prothane motor mounts. Everything else is stock as far as suspension are concerned.

I just got four new tires. 195/55R-15 Goodyear Eagle GT.

I do not know what to put my AGXs' on anymore. I have them on the stock setting but I think I will try 3F and 6R to see if it will help eliminate understeer at all during hard cornering.

Got any suggestions Ben? Merry Christmas also!

do you think that with kyb agx shocks and gc coilovers 350 front 300 rear i will be riding on bump stops and would it be a good auto cross set up/ daily driver

I would do 2-front and 4-rear and call it a day if you're looking for a decent ride with some roll prevention. 3-front 6-rear gets you really limited roll but at the expensive of ride quality. It's pretty harsh but still livable. 1-front 2-rear gives you a stock-like ride yet still enhanced roll behavior from the springs alone. You choose. =]

They are so easy to change though, you can just experiment.

I changed it to 2F and 4R and had that for a few weeks and just this week changed to 1F and 2R for the stock setting and I feel it leaves more to be desired. I am also in the process of breaking in these tires and want to take it easy for 500 miles. About 50 are done, 450 to go.

After that, I can really push the car and make more aggressive settings with my set-up. I have been happy with it since 2005 and just started playing with it as my tires (BFG g-force Sport summer tires) lasted two whole years before I needed to change them.

Who knows, any other help would be great though, Ben.

Im running 3F and 7R, i also have the st front sway bar, stock rear, and the full es master bushing kit installed......it corners good...very little roll.

Th only other help I can offer is if you want to get rid of the under steer a stiffer rear sway bar is going to be a better idea. And you know... get that beam bent.

Haha I keep dreaming. I do not even know who bends anymore. Steve moved out to the West Coast last time I heard anything about it. How is the scene for beam bending these days? I have been out of the game too long to know who is doing it anymore (if anyone).

For sway bars, I really want to get the Progress adjustables from g-spec. Stupid money, causing me problems.

3F and 6R are the best I believe.

But just by stiffening the back end makes my B14 understeer seem much less obtrusive in driving!
