I'm putting on some Eibach Prokits with KYB AGX Adj shocks in the next few days...Can anyone tell me the best ride settings for them? Thanx ahead.

It depends on what type of ride you're looking for.

I just spend about 2 months rolling on 4 in the front and 8 in the rear. I've been doing quite a bit of street racing, and wanted the most cornering control I could get. They worked flawlessly, but with great sacrifice to a smooth ride.

I finally changed the rears to 6 for a trip to the Chesapeake Bay, and the ride was smoother (but still had good cornering).

Ideally, I think a good combo of comfort and control would be 3 in the front and 4/5 in the rear. 1 or 2 in the front I think is worthless. It's only when you put them on 3 and 4 do you feel the difference (stiffer). 4-8 is very noticeable in the rear, and by the time you put them on 8, you're ready to "ride the rails"!

Changing the rears is much easier (besides the need to crawl under the car), you just turn the knob.

However, changing the fronts is more involved. My strut bar covers one of the struts, making it impossible to change the strut setting without removing/moving the strut bar (need a socket to remove/loosen several bolts). You'll see when you get them on.

So 3 in the front 6 in the rear would make for a good compromise of cornering and ride quality?

Works for me.

It maybe a little harsh for some, but I just drove 2 months on "8" in the rear (I learned to tolerate the harsher ride to get the control I needed)!

I'm finding the "6" in the rear is a less harsh ride, with adequate cornering control.

I set the front to "4" because that gave me the best control. They've remained on "4", because I'm too lazy to remove the strut bar and adjust them to "3".

Maybe someday!

I luv my KYB's...I was looking to lower my car and still keep the best possible ride...so I chose 2/F and 4/R...great ride and still better handling. I really like it knowing that if I ever have a sore back, I can always switch the settings to 1/F and 2/R. I'm pretty sure this setting would be bouncy like stock. JMO

2 Front is useless. Most of the comfort occurs with the settings in the rear. I have my rear at 4 or 5 now, forget which, but 6 and above is harsh in the back. Front at 3 or 4 does not change ride comfort but helps with control.

Thats my current setup...it's not bad at all.

3/4 would be better

I'll just compromise and do 3/5

Thanx for all you guys help.
