Shock dyno...or how the damping curves compare to what is needed for the X. This is a SINGLE adjustable shock with 30 whatever clicks... I can already tell you the 6K spring is too soft for the wheel weights this car puts down. I would also like to see the wheel travel with this system as the SAWC does all kinds of funny things when you start lifting wheels.....

should have some info this week with pics etc for you guys

I'll get the dynos, not everyone can afford 3k kits for street use and would utilize it either.
we do custom valve kits with custom rates for those who do want to do more tracking

So can you negatively effect the SAWC by getting lowering springs over coilovers?

^ The issue is travel....if you do not have enough droop you can lift a wheel in corners which may make the diffs freak out. Not sure how the X will react. Really grippy tires + soft springs might also do it.

Plus ride quality suffers with short travel suspensions.

Some of our vendors mentioned that you guys were requesting shock dynos so here are the graphs for the Evo X:

Front graph:


Front full hard


Front full soft

Finally got a chance to look over the graphs.

This is with 8k/6k springs correct?
