I'm back. Nope I haven't dynoed the shock. If I had a shock dyno it would get used 1x every 3-4 years. Where is your dyno that it is better?

There is a reason why the AX version of the YL is substantially stiffer than the stock spec one, and a custom build. The YL is a straight up consumer grade shock. Do a search and you will see a couple of complaints about the softness. Basically the rebound is OK, but there is hardly any bump control.

A stiffer shock really helps in the transitions, and makes no difference in stready state.

That's pretty low. Have any issues with scraping the front end coming out of driveways or speed bumps?

When you say lower perch you are refering to the second set of holes in the shock itself????

The eibach pro kit is 1 inch front and rear right????
