I will be putting the AGX setting on the softest setting, i think it is setting 1. These adjustable shocks are the only one within my price range and i want to know if this is a good setup before i buy the shocks. i dont want to be blowing out the shocks.
I'd be kinda weary of those shocks with those springs. The Neuspeed race springs are rather stiff springs in comparison to say Eibach Prokit, or Neuspeed Sports. The spring rates of the Neuspeed Race is: Neuspeed Race - 485F/395R To give you an idea, that's about as stiff as most entry level true ccoilover set up spring rates. They WILL bounce quite harsh I'm pretty sure of, and they mich make your back feel sore after a while. Yes the AGX's have adjustable dampening control, but 5 levels of it I don't think will do so much for those particular springs. I'd suggest looking into some Koni Yellows if I were you. KYB's aren't by any means bad, but I dunno how well they would handle a very stiff lowering spring.
