I have been using 2 front and 4 rear for a while and been happy with it for daily duties.


When I had the AGXs on stock springs, I ram 3 front and 5 rear. Now that I have the RMs I stiffened the rears up to 6. But I think that I want to soften it a bit since some of the roads in this area undulate ALOT more than they should. and I don't eeven mean pot holes or anything, I just mean odd bends and all. I think I'll try 2F/4R and go from there. 3F/6R sounds like it'd be a nice setting too. The rears act nicely right now, but they front could use a bit more give. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see which works best for me.

2 front and 5 rear I have tried also in attempt to soften the front and keep the rear stiff, over some road conditions, the car would bounce oddly fore and aft so I went back to 4 in the rear and the weird bounce went away. All the roads are different we drive on so picking and choosing for what you feel on the roads you drive is ultimately, the best.

If the road was perfectly flat and evne, we could use 4 front and 8 rear all day and love the shit out of it.

yeah, I know the feeling. I ran 3front 5 rear when i had the stock springs in, and when I went with that setting running RMs, it undulated in a really odd fashion. I wasn't a fan, which is when I went to 3F-6R. For the most part, it's not bad, but I think for a softer "winter" setting, 2 front 4 rear might be where I start.

Phor, I highly recommend it. I use 2F/4R in the winter time.

I just swapped it over this evening. I'll know tomorrow morning how they feel. I'll keep you posted as to what I think. The really bad roads I hit are usually on my way to class on Tues/Thurs nights, and coming back from work Wed-Fri as I work in a different town the end of the week. I'll let you know how it goes.
