    kyb-abx adjustment

    I just went from 5 in the front and 6 in the back to 7 in the front and 4 in the back. Way better ! It feels like its on rails now and the rear traction got a bit better.

    triple-black
    2000 CamaroSS convertible

    try softening the rear another one, as long as it dampens, withouth oscillation, softer is better... the key is as long as it doesn't oscillate when hitting potholes/bumps.
    you want critically damped, when possible.

    Those are adjustment settings on the shocks, aftermarket, not stock.

    True, but having the front on 7 and the rear on 3 !, Sounds wrong !

    I image that even on setting one it is still better than a stockers dampening effect.

    I think I'm running 6 up front and 5 in the rear. I can't remember though. You'll really bounce like a ricer if they are not set high enough.

    That's a lack of damping control....
