    KYB AGX & King Lows on DC4

    I've bought a set of KYB AGX shocks & some King Spring Lows for my DC4 Integra. The shocks are hardness adjustable and I was wondering what I should get them set to when I install them.

    My initial instinct was to "set it 2 fuly hrad bruss" but I've been told that my organs will shatter if I attempt to drive my car on Alice Springs roads with rock-hard springs.

    I want my car to have advanced handling, the best I can get without getting whiplashed to death.

    So, anyone got any experience with these shocks?

    Thanks in advance.

    ps. I know this is probably a question that gets old, but what kind of height drop would I see with the 'lows?

    lows is roughly 1.5"

    setting your shocks to hard and driving on them on that setting will shorten your shock life considerably and will call for a rebuild sooner than later. I accidentally had my front left koni on 3/4 hard. i didnt know until a few months later. i hated the ride. my guts were jumping up. put it back to soft and it is absolutely drivign bliss.

    I would highly suggest u put it all to soft to begin with, if ur not happy with the amount of roll, bump it up a notch, bit by bit.

    also installing a thicker rear sway bar , coupled with soft shock settings works wonders. comfort, whilst being able to turn with little roll.

    good tyres are a must as well.

    i had koni yellows with king super lows and set dampers on softest setting.. even that was firmer that stock, but liveable

    they say that koni yellows in softest setting is ~50% stiffer than stock (of course dependant on spring as well).

    reds are 20% stiffer than stock.

    Use this as a general guideline.
