the front kyb agx shock has the adjusting thing on top of the rod. if you open the hood and look at the strut it is covered by a rubber thing. so my question is when you install the shocks do you cut a hole in this rubber so you can adjust the agxs or do you you have to buy something else that already has the hole? or is this all wrong? thanks

On most fitments you can simply pull off the rubber dust cover on top of the strut bearing/mount and snap it back in place.

Is there a proper way to adjust the AGXs? Like turning the selector clockwise vs counter clockwise....and w/ the rear knobs, as well?

These are set up to adjust clockwise on both the fronts and rears.

yep man... theres a little mini instruction manual that comes with em that explains everything... like you need to be sure to push them down, and THEN turn, not any other way. Make sure it pops back up when you get on the setting you want too. The little pamphlet explains it all.

i don't know exactly whats the drop. but on pdm-racing.com they say it drops between 1.6 to 1.8 also Spring Rates for the s14: Front 157 lbs/in (linear) & Rear 107-178 lbs/in (progressive). i haven't measured mine yet, i'm gonna let them settle for a while. i don't have any pictures yet, but i'm sure i will pretty soon. you can tell my car is a little lower, but its not that low.
