OK............so my cars lowered now, the setup im running for springs are the Tanabe gf210's and of course the KYB AGX's. Anywho, I know how to adjust them but do I set them on a higher number for stiffness or lower number. If anyone know then it would be much appreciated?

you do realize

that in the ammount of time it took you to write your new suspension setup in your sig. you could have read the manual and got the answer.

I bought mine brand new and I dont think the directions it came with were quite clear but I do have a bad habit of just glacing over directions.

Usually 3 up front, 6 in the back using stock springs.
Any stiffer is too bone shattering on these LA streets I drive on. I can drive 4 up front, but its too much feedback especially when I just get out of work and want to relax. I usually only put the fronts on 4 when I have the girl in the car just becuase she'd rather have me pick her up in the truck and I am mean like that :P
When I first installed them, I initially set the rears to 6 and loved how it felt during work driving and spirited driving so I rarely change the rears.

I run Tanabe GF springs, started with the AGX on 2/4 which rode very well for most driving. Went to Deals Gap and changed after the first run to 3/4, then 3/6 then 4/6. If I had had more time I would have set the rears to 8 to see what it was like. I've got them at 3/6 now for everyday driving, can still be a little rough/bouncy/touchy-feely (what's a good word for it?) for some roads and concrete highways but I like the feel.

Hey, a little off topic but, I was looking into getting a set of these and mazdatrix(whom i already deal with) sells the whole set for 611.00, but cork sport sells them for 520.00(whom I have never dealt with). So I was wondering if cork sport was a good reliable place, just wondering cause of the large gap in price, and I should go ahead and get them from there or what.

Save yourself some cash and purchase the shocks from jdmwerks13! $350.00 for all four shocks.

KYB AGX SHOCKS MAZDA RX7 RX 7 86 - 92 BEST PRICE

I recieved my shocks in about four days. I'm still waiting for my springs to come in. I'll let you all know the results.

Yes, summit has "free shipping" and a $9.50 handling fee on every order.

I think I've had five orders with summit this month, that handling fee is starting to add up. I also got my KYB AGXs from summit.
