Thanks...

 

that was easy

 

Anyone tried these yet? Are they monotube shocks?

 

Monotube vs. twin-tube is a tricky subject.....it shouldn't really be a concern at this level. For full on motorsports, yes I would prefer monotube. But twin-tubes have their own advantages.

those are nice, and a good price, but 6-8 weeks... it was about that long to receive some other parts from japan, hard to stomach...

 

I was just wondering if this particular product used monotube construction for their shock. Judging from your response it doesn't sound like it is. Would you please kindly educate me on the advantages of twin-tube designs (other than cost)?

 

Generally a twin tube will have better ride quality. Partially because of the stiction/friction inherent in a monotube and the lower gas pressures in the twin tube.

Monotubes generally are better for performance due to more fluid capacity and larger piston area (more damping control).

All this is of course debateable and you can exceptions to the "rules" if the valving is good enough....or if the valving sucks. Valving is key.

Thanks for the info.

 

Anyone running the Cusco Zero 1 and can give a review? Information is rather limited on this set up.

 

I have the Cusco's....Really happy with them! I ordered them from Eric at Driveline

 

Can you say some more about it? How does it ride? More comfortable? More stiff? Bouncy? Have you tracked it?

 

They are a perfect street, daily driver, track once and awhile type option. Quality is good. THe ride is not bouncy and GMG was able to adjust them perfectly for a aggressive street type setup. Again, I'm very happy with them and I've had KW3's, KW2s, Billstein's, etc...The Cusco's are a great option if you don't want to spend over $2k.

 

Looks like a good option for a street coilover - Japanese quality, good ride and separate height and travel adjustment without the big price tag.
