B14 guys: AGX/Road Magnet setting? - SR20 Community Forum

Just courious as to what you guys are running for this set up? I have been toying around with them all in the front and just not set on the right combo.

So what are you guys running for your AGX's front and rear?

I dont think you want to go too soft up front. Since the AGX's are stock length struts you might want to have those at 3 or 4 (stiffest), youre going to bottom out at 1 on dips in the road and some railroad crossings.

The rears you'll be fine from 4-8. The rears depends on how comfortable you want the car.

I had the AGX's/Hyperco Gen2s prior to getting my Tein SS and I had them at 4 up front and 8 in the rear (full stiff front and back)....... But then again I have Prothanes so comfort to me wasnt an issue. I also didnt want to go too soft or I would be bottoming out.

Now the Tein SS are a different story comfort + handling

4 and 8 is what I was thinking. Right now I have 3 and 6 and the rear is just not stiff enough. But yeah.. I know what you mean about the prothanes. Lady seems to like it.

I DD 2/4 & have used 3/6 with my HC/AGX'ed B14, check this chart:

Dureza vs. Stock = Stiffening vs Stock.

I roll around on 3/6. I started out at 2/4 but it was a little to jarring on city streets in El Paso. They're not in the best condition. Made a world of difference going from 2/4 to 3/6.

Same. I did the 2/4 for a few months and found it to be a little too underdamped. 3/6 or 3/7 is a nice balance for me.

Lucky you. Not mine. She always complains.

I don't have Road Magnets, but I have ground controls Spring Rates (350F and 275R)... but I always change it up on the AGX's... Sometimes I rock it on 4/8, and sometimes 3/7... and after 2+ years I've found that I like the settings mostly at 1/2, go figure. I still like to change it up every once in a while when I need to "wake up".

I'm a softie.
