KYB AGX setting opinions?

Just replaced some super old Monroe Gas-O-Matics with KYB AGX's in the front and left them on setting 2. I know 2 is supposed to be factory according to an old thread I read earlier. Ridiculously big difference but then again the Monroe's could be compressed with no effort and they would not extend so they were totally shot anyways.

For those who have AGX's and stock height suspension, which settings do you usually roll with for DD'ing?

I'm thinking of going with the Gas-Adjust mono-tubes in the back but I've got a whole set of tired rubber to replace in the front first.

Re: KYB AGX setting opinions?

I pretty much stick with 2 also. These struts are SOOO much better than the originals that I think 1 is stiffer than stock. I will turn mine up to 4 but you definitively feel the road more. I do like the fact that there is like zero body roll with it on 4. I also purchased the gas-adjust for the rear. This is a great combo for front and rear, plus who wold want to crawl under the car to adjust the rears.

Re: KYB AGX setting opinions?

I ran mine on 2 in the front and 4 in the rear for about 5 years. I finally got around to trying out 3 in the front and 6 in the rear last year and WOW. It made a huge difference. The handling of the car is so much nicer now. I've left it on 3/6 ever since.
