optimal kyb agx setting on s13 with eibach sportline?

[Fenvy]

I got an email from KYB of america today when I asked them about mating the agx with eibach sportlines on a 95+ which is about a 1.8" drop. Here is what he said:

>If you plan on using the AGX line with this drop you will have to have the>setting no lower than 3 front and 6 rear.>With this drop for the long run and road conditions you will shorten the>life of those shocks/struts.>>>Troy Horn>KYB America LLC

though it might be interesting for people to see what settings kyb recommends

that's for s14 + sportline... does anyone know the optimal setting for s13 + sportline?

I just Emailed KYB North America all the information about the Eibach Sportlines (F/R kg/mm and ride hight) for the S13, i'll post their response when i get it. I just got the same set up and was curious about the same thing.

well i talked to them and if you want to keep your warranty on the struts, you cant drop more than 1.5" on either end in a s13.I would check out another spring set.

thats perfect for me anything more than a 1.5 drop and my car wouldnt be able to get over the best steet in new orleans.

I have them on 1 all around right now...

they feel comfy like that, but I really don't want to reduce the life of the shocks if doing so will mess it up.

well ain't that kick square to the nuts. Loveless, is that Sportline AGX set up what you have right now? How do you like it and what settings do you have it on now?

[Fenvy]

kick square to the nuts? what does that mean?

that's my setup alright. This is my 1st lowered vehicle so I can't safely say. I think nismofreak lied to me when he said sportlines are soft springs. The setup feels stiff even at 1s all around.

I changed them to 3 and 6 and god I Can't stand the road sometimes

the handling seems to have increased dramatically though. The shocks seems to be pushing the tire down to the ground. I no longer feel the lsd kick in as the car hops over bumps during turns.

>kick square to the nuts? what does that mean?

I believe he is implying that your AGX shocks wearing out faster because you have the car lowered is comparable to a person forcefully moving their foot in an upward direction, as if drop-kicking a football, causing an impact between the top of their foot and the direct center of the family jewels, causing a pain that will not soon be forgotten.

I'm thinking of going Koni shocks with Koni springs. But I haven't done a lot of research on them yet. Apparantly I can't use coilovers with the 9" wide wheels I just bought

Vkoslak, you speak jiberish too?

[Vkoslak]

Its like a second language to me!
