Eric do you pics of different shocks and explain what each does with out naming brands? and maybe some diagrams of the flow each provide?



I understand your end goal here is to gain some understanding of shocks....I believe that an answer to this question could conflict with one my personal beliefs which is to sell on the benefits of ones own product, not talk down the competition...Integrity is very important to me. I hope everyone understands. The shock company I work for uses billet pistions, shim stack design and needle & seat control to develop the curves that are targeted...This design allows for consistent performance, shock after shock. Each shock gets dynoed. Go-no tolerances are held close and the shock techs need to be able to confidently build a run of shocks as efficiently as possible. Also, this design lends itself very well to custom valving options/big power, small tire, drag radials etc.
