You should have a knob with numbers on them thats on the top of the struts.

look for the white horizontal line on the strut....
with the knob it will line up with the top of it.. and the white line will indicated the setting you have or want to change it to...

R u sure the knob is fitting right???
the bottom of the knob is like a half moon...
and u have to push down on it and then turn...
"it should NOT be turning freely"... that mean it's damage...

You also have to press down on the knob, then turn to the desired setting. Just spinning it will ruin them. Thats what the directions said at least. As for adjusting the backs, know which way the knob is facing during install, and memorize the rotation of the knob. The rears are a b*tch to adjust. One of my knobs fell off, and I haven't gotten around to dropping the strut out to get it again. So for now it's set to 4 on the rear and 3 up front. I like it though.

well i put them on yesterday...

i put it at 3 in the front and 2 in the rear and it feels like stock... definately not as firm as i'd expected....

should be getting these shocks soon. What setting would you guys reccomend for smooth daily driving? Not really into racing and whatnot. I just stock feel or maybe even better. i'm running Tanabe df210s btw. thanks.

The rear is amazingly hard to adjust. I have not changed mine since they were installed. I change my front quite often. If I am going on a trip place them on 2, at the track on 2, but for everday driving which includes aggressive driving those things are on 4 and the rear is always on 3.

I like the back to be stiffer then the front...

comfortable setting AKA stock 2 FRONT/ 3 REAR
aggressive driving and track I go 3 FRONT / 4 REAR...

i current run 3F/4R and it comfortable in my standard...but when u start driving aggressive u can feel the car is stiff and doesn't sway or roll when going around corners..

I will probably move on to Koni Yellow... if i keep the car in a year or two...

P.S. I have the AGX on for about a year now and it's combine with Hotchkis springs.

very good combo and ride height...

i have mine set to 3/4 i think i might lower it down to 2/3 though, when i want to change the settings lets say 3 to 2 does it matter which way i turn the knob or screw driver? do i have to turn clockwise or counter-clockwise or does it not matter?

I looked on the paperwork from mine. The dial is set up from 1 to 4 going clockwise. So if your rear is on 4, then turn it clockwise to be set on 3. The fronts should be easy to see though. I hope you remember which direction the white dot is facing on your rears.
