Hey guys I need help. I went to drag strip yesterday and did only 13.9 best. I used to do 13.5 1/4 miles with 1.8 60' . After I got my cams done , I did my hole suspension so I am fu**ed.

I haven't do good after I got my cams and suspension .

I need help with adjusting struts and shocks.

Front KYB AGX ADJ got 1-4. 1 beening soft and 4 is stiff.
Back KYB AGX ADJ got 1-8. 1 beening soft and 8 is stiff.
BBK GRIPPE LAC. I did try 1-4 with no luck . I used to run 1 out back and never hook up so I tried 8 last night and best only 2.0 with MT ET STREET. I am very unhappy.

Please Help with setting . Thanks in adavance

Personally I would never buy adjustable shocks because I know I would endlessley fiddle with the settings...

Maybe you should get an airbag, they are not too expensive.

I think your problem is the kybs a friend of mine has them on his 99 and I have tokico illuminas and his tracktion off the line is nothing compaired to mine and he cant keep up in the twisties. but try having the fronts on 1 and the rears on 3 or 4 to start and just play with the rear settings from there you want a softer setting in the front to premote weight transfer

I tried 1-2 up front and 7-8 back yesterday. In my stock shocks and struts I didn't have any problem doing low to mid 1.8 60' but now I haven't seen 1.8 60' in like 6 months.

Did you change springs?

Just run the rears all the way soft.

7-8 out back is way too stiff (max'd out). I run 5 on the street. Try 1 or 2. You want the rears soft not hard!!

Some one told me not to make it too soft out back cause it will bounce right back up and no traction.. When I did like 1-2 out back , I was doing 2.0-2.3 60'. Soft on back is not always good. Next time I go I might try 4-6 out back

Changed my springs before I did my struts shocks and LAC.
