Proper settings for KYB AGX
Back when my car was for street and for fun at the track, I got some RB springs and some KYB AGX.
I was wondering if anyone knows what the spring rate on the RB springs are, and also, what is the best setting for the KYB AGX to match the RB springs?
I will be looking at getting better springs and other suspension stuff soonish.

you setup should actually handle really well on the street, and the next step is to play with the alignment.
in the front you want as much negative camber as you can get, with the stock hardware, it'll be around -.5, more is better. you want as much castor as you can get, so you will rotate the strut tops so that the strut is in the inner rear position.
i've tried different toe settings and it doesn't make much difference except the steering feels better @zero toe, so i like zero toe.
in the rear the only thing you can adjust is toe, and it makes a huge difference. the stock toe in feels really planted all the time. as you get closer to zero toe, the cornering really improves, but the car needs to be under power to feel settled, so i'd say start at zero toe and if it feels weird add a little toe in, the rear toe in adjusters are marked, so you can move it a notch at a time.
set it up like that, and it'll feel razor sharp on the street
