Better handling with AGX at 3/6 from 2/4

Hey,
I've had my eibach springs and kyb shocks for a few months now.
I started to notice that 2/4 combo wasn't sufficient for my driving. Maybe the components settled or I've gotten used to them, but I felt
uncomfortable in certain conditions.
I increased the settings to 3 in front and 6 in back and I like it
a lot better.
I've noticed less roll around corners and I feel more confident on
the highway.
Degradation in ride quality is minimal.
After a few days of driving I believe I will keep the settings as they are. 3/6
Anyone running 4/8 or 3/7?
Greg

ive been running 4/8 with my sprints for about 3 weeks now. the ride is kinda harsh but the handleing is great. im probably gonn set it back down to 3/6 though.

I run 4/8. I'm used to/like stiff rides. Ride in a Corvette and you will see. THe max still handles like crap though.

As for changing the settings, you'd better not pay anybody to do it. The fronts are cake, so are the rears.

take it from somebody who beats S4s in autoX

street = 3 front, 4 back
autoX = 4 front, 5 back

anything more will cause too much oversteer or understeer

This does however depend on springs to an extent. I would never run higher than 6 on the back - I can't see how that would help
