Ok first off these things are nice, great price and and the car handles well. There are 4 settings 1-4 , 4 being lowest 1 highest, thats what the direction say :). I also have a set of eibach sportline springs (1.5 inch drop front, 1.4 rear)

I set them all to 2 and the ride is kinda rough but it handles great. I was just wondering if anyone else has these or something similiar and what settings they reccomend to help out with wheel hop during launch ? My wheel hop isnt so bad right now, but it still exists.

Oh btw you can adjusting the dampening and stiffness, both by 4 levels. As I said I got them all set to 2.

Just lookin for some advice :)
 
I had stock springs and AGX on my Eclipse and had them set to 4.:D But when I hit a bump, I was like OMG . And then when I went around a corner I was like OMG . So I had GREAT handling at the cost of ride quality. Its all in whats important to you.
 
I have 2" lowering springs with my AGXs and have the front set to 1 and rears set to 1, good for driving around but when its track time I set them stiff to mirror the strip/track, depends on the quality of the launch pad/course. As for wheel hop, sorry I can't give you solid advance because I don't have that issue with my GSX. But I would think you would want to stiffen up the front for less wheel hop, assuming thats why folks get stiffer motor mounts. Not sure though.
 
I've got AGXs as well with SportLines on my AWD.... but I can't help but think that my car actually GAINED wheelgap in the front - is this something with the AGX that I can remedy?
 
Actually it's the other way around on the AGX's. For the fronts, it's 1(soft) thru 4(hard) & 1(soft) thru 8(hard) on the rears. How would i know? Cause i'm looking at the instructions that came in the box, hehe...

I got mine installed with suspension tech 1" lowering springs. it's set at 2 in the front, 4 in the rear. Kinda bumpy ride but handling is awsome!

Saber!...!...!

I have the susp. Tech. springs that lower an inch and the agx's. fronts are set at 3, and rear is set at 6 for daily driving..anything lower and the car was nailing bumpstops.
