I put KYB AGX adjustable shocks on the rear of mine (still got to get the front ones).

I adjusted mine alot. I had to find the setting that worked the best for my car.

I care about handling, but I'm a 1/4 mile type guy so I had to adjust to fit the bill.

I started at setting #3. Rear of car was loose, and squated too much, and went up one number at a time all the way to # 7. Writing notes on how the car felt, and 60' foor times on each setting. I went to #5 setting cause it felt the best and gave me the best times.

On #5 the rear of my car didnt squat as much, and alot of the loose feeling was gone. On #6 and 7 you felt the road more, it felt to handle even better, but it hurt my darg times.

So I went to the highest that still felt good handling wise and gave good times at the track.
