For a good launch, stiff rear, soft front.

For a smooth ride.. #1 all the way around i'd say. I haven't installed mine just yet, but eh.. they guys with tokicos seem to feel this way.

Ya know, Mr. Jumpa, we have a lot of the same mods. Funny, isn't it? ;-)

I daily drive on 4/8 setting with my AGX. I actually seem to get better launches this way than 1/8 , 2/8 or 3/8 settings. After driving on 4/8 all the time, 1/1 is a nice comfy ride.

Well when I autox I use 8 in the rear and 1 in the front. So I can get the most oversteer. I notice that by adding more damper to the front the more understeer you get so you can kinda adjust your handling characteristics. What I really wanna do is get a fat rear sway bar and tune the rear and the front. :)

I rarely lower the damper I must have responsive handling all the time hehe, I'm used to the stiff ride also.

eff the AGX.. I couldn't stand the ride when I had them.. neither could Alving. We both took them off in favor of tokico blues.
