A friend of mine has similar shocks on his Lincoln. Kinda nice. "Set it and forget it"

if all u wanted to do was set it and forget it why even splurge the extra $ for adjustables

It's easier than twisting the valve like on the Koni's (which I have). He has a setup for drag racing, street, and handling.
Yea, I'm not following that logic either. If set and forget is your thing get with Koni and ask them to custom valve a shock to your spring and intended use.
Most people wouldn't know what to do with a five way adjuster anyhow. But at least if you bought them you'd want to make changes for the need at the moment.

I guess I used the wrong words. I meant that he just takes a screwdriver, clicks from position 1-5 on each strut, and then goes and does what he is going to do.

I do that with my Konis, just turn the **** to the desired setting. Full soft for normal driving, medium for spirited driving, full firm for track duty. The valving on the Koni's isn't perfect, but it's not bad either.

huh?
Do you run all 4 corners at the same level of stiffness? Just curious. I was running full hard awhile back. IIRC, I'm now somewhere in the medium setting.
I wish that KYB petition for AGX adjustable struts had carried some weight. We had a lot of sigs but they weren't interested in doing anything for our car.

On the street I run the same setting all around. I forget what I was running at Lime Rock. Seeing as the valving is different front to rear due to weight, and the struts were hopefully designed to be used as a set of 4, having the same settings front and rear (as far as firm or soft) should be the optimum starting point.
