    KYb question

    :x I have Kyb shocks and the settings is on one all around. Does anyone have a problem with the bounce because I could see my front lights bouncing up and down really fast on the freeway and that shit gets annoying. Is this common :?:

    Not all KYB have 8 settings......The ones I have are 4 settings only and 1 being softess and no, it is not for racing only. 1 is for the comfortable luxury sedan style ride and 4 being the aggressive hard style ride......

    I've had my KYB's on setting 1 for about a month, and the ride is nicer but at high speeds I also get the headlight jitters. These are performance struts so even the setting 1 is stiffer than average.

    I don't get too much bouncing with my front Konis set at the lowest setting, but my rear KYB AGX's are set at 1 and they are rather rough. Forget putting the KYB's on 4, that setting rattles my teeth when going over bumps.

    Shoot, I have mine on 3 in the front and 6 in the back... just right for coil-overs IMO.

    Actually it's the other way around, the higher the number setting.. the harder the rod resistance.
