So nobody else wants to post up their settings? From what it sounds like 4/6 F/R seems to be the way to go for good handling and decent comfort on the street. Anybody with track or AutoX settings want to clue us in??

Not everything is junk on ebay. The people who sale KYBs on Ebay really don't have much over head, they can afford to sell them at near cost to move volumes of stock. You will be just fine buying KYBs off ebay. Ebay right now seem the be the place for Fidanza products also. I bought a set of cam gears for my Miata off there. It was the cheapest place I could find.
Ebay is one of those hit or miss places. You really have to do your research before buying from there.

Def so.. I would check into a few ebay stores. i bought mine from the same seller as the person mentioned above. I have bought audio, wheels, tires, suspension, exhausts, etc... from ebay. Only a few individual sellers but with emails and research ive always had smooth transactions.

It also depends on your springs and rates.
(Try setting 4F 6R using 9K or 8K springs. see what happens on the street and you tell me you don't care abut the ride comfort.-- B.S.!)
My Settings: Daily Driver
2F 5R
Tried 1F 3R: I almost puked like seasick.
Tried 3F 6R: Too hard for the roads that I take.
I can dig 3F 5R, but 2F 5R is fine for my daily driving.
Play with it. Depends on how you like it. We Can't tell you what settings for you.

I got mine from JDMWERKS as well.
For both the shocks/struts, and Eiback pro-kit Springs I paid 450 total... all e-bay, all brand new.
worth every penny.
I run 2/4 right now... it's good and comfortable, while still handles when needed... although not as well as when I stiffen it...

I wonder why they don't reply to emails.
and Im not the only one who tried.
Try emailing them see if they respond.
Why even bother putting up an email address.
Good price though. Almost bought some stuff from them.

ok guys tried the 4 setting on the front whoa too bouncy, so im guessing the higher the number is the softer the ride is. Went back to 3 even though 2 was nice. Havent played with the rears yet but whatever number its on sees to be ok back there. Kinda sux that the dials are on the inside(rear) which means I have to jack the car up every time I wanna change the setting.

Yeah, the higher the number the stiffer the setting. What do you mean by bouncy? Like a Cadillac/boat feeling or like stiff and rattles your teeth due to bumps in the road?

You suck man.
You don't need to jack up the car to adjust the rears. It's actually better than way instead of removing those speakers/covers/etc.
and 4 is the stiffest for FRONT and 8 is the stiffest for REAR.
Put 1 Front (for left and right front struts) and 1 (for left and right rear struts)
You'll feel like you're on a boat. Why??Because they're too soft. . . .
5R (left & right) 2F (left & right) is not bad for daily use.
What springs are you using?

caddy's aren't bouncy the way #4 setting is bouncy. i'm running stock springs with 1F/2R. even setting 2 starts to feel too stiff for the front. i set the rear a bit higher for the heck of it. havne't messed with them in the last two years i've had them on.
