8/4? n 3/6?
that's a big difference. is it like gran turismo? stronger the rear, more understeer?

my AGX's are currently set at 2/4 front and 6/8 rear. This is for street driving. I originally set the fronts all the way stiff (4) but after driving them like that I gradually turned them down due to some seriously harsh roads that i drive frequently. the front shocks will affect the "bumpiness" you feel in the car much more than the rears.

i think my advice would be to set them at their stiffest so you know what they can do, and then turn them down according to what kind of driving conditions you run into. they are super easy to adjust so no problems there.

yes, in general stiffer fronts will induce understeer easier, and stiffer rears will induce oversteer more easily, but on a street driven car like mine i rarely see either (unless i whip a u-turn or something). my car has not been on any form of track yet, but i would assume at the track they would all be set at their stiffest.

i've got agx's and susp tech. springs... I find that 8 rear is way to stiff for casual driving and since my front tires are too skinny 225 17's if i set them higher than 1 i understeer really badly... Sooo I've got them set 1front / 4rear around town and i push the rear up to 6 on the track
