Default KYB AGX Adjustment Damping values (Answers from KYB)

I just bought a set of adjustable shocks and wanted to know what how much stiffer than stock each click was. I emailed KYB using their "Contact Us" link and got this response. Hope it helps you guys...


The AGX products have the following approximate damping force values.
When adjusted, both rebound and compression damping forces change.

Setting#: Relative Value:
1 - Same as Factory 100

2 - Same as our GR2 products (10~15% firmer than Factory) 115

3 - 50% firmer than #2 172

4 - 30% firmer than #3 223


For an eight position adjustable product, the damping force values are
approx. the following:
With #2 being Factory at a relative value of 100,


#1 = 95 (5% softer than Factory #5 = 143.5 (43.5% firmer than Factory)
#2 = 100 (Factory damping force) #6 = 172 (72% firmer than Factory)
#3 = 107.5 (7.5% firmer than Factory) #7 = 197.5 (97.5 firmer than Factory)
#4 = 115 (15% firmer than Factory)(GR-2) #8 = 223 (123 % firmer than Factory)

good piece of info. I like being able to dial in the settings a bit. I started with 2/4 on the street and full hard on the autoX course, but after playing around have ended up with 2/6 street and 3/8 track. Keeping the rears hard helps the rear end get around a turn a bit, but it makes your passengers a little queasy. Luckily I have no friends and always drive by myself
