Fox Racing. I have a valving that I am going to try but most builders I spoke with won't do what I want. They always tell me they have a valving that will work. Jamie at SRP was the best and most open to discussion about valving. He said he would build it how I wanted even if it took a little experimenting. He quoted me roughly $150 per corner for a revalve and extra to install the canisters that I will be supplying.

 

Cool thank you, does it have high and low or just low?

Just curious, what was so different about what you wanted?

 

Where are you (or Nick) getting the Fox canisters?

 

The Fox canisters have I believe 6 settings. As for shock valvings I have come to believe as have a few others that rebound is the devil and low speed compression is what you want. Most shock builders are not on the same page.

 

I think rebound was the ticket for stock class to get more spring rate and better transition, but for a fully tuned suspension (STR with any springs, shocks, sway bars) you do not need the rebound to be so excessive as we all have been learning.

 

I don't use all that rebound and currently running about 1/2 turn from full soft for the rear.

Just ask questions regarding my shock setup and I can answer them.

 

Nice shock rig. You should have built it with a 2.5" cylinder. That is what i did with mine and i can get 5 in/s on the stiffest rebound settings. I also beefed up to 2.5" square tubing all around. What correction factor are you using?

 

Thanks. I just cut off the plot at 5 in/sec to focus on the low speed handling. Most plots have data point up to 10 -12 in/sec.

The factor... It is the area of the piston minus the area of the shaft for the rebound side, 2.94 vs 3.1 for the compression side. Or are you talking about the bias in force due to the nitrogen pressure?

I will consider a larger diameter cylinder. Thanks.

 

I agree that it can be the devil but if used correctly it can be very useful.

My old shocks with 900lb springs had 757lbs of rebound 10"' a sexond at full soft.
My current setup has 672lb springs and 282lbs of rebound force at 10" a second.

I think today's Auto X confirmed the the direction with the shocks is correct.

 

I think that 282lbs of rebound at 10" a second is perfectly fine. I think anything under 400 at 10-12" per second is ok.
