Lol - i'm looking for a set of Bilstein PSS or PSS9 now... hahaha, willing to trade my GTC-200 wing for it with a bit of cash on top.

I don't care if they're blown or leaking - just not structurally damaged.

Thanks! To bad I don't still have street tires. It would be a pretty good apples to apples comparison.

Im having similiar issues with my set as well. The rear end tends to skip on turns. My DD integra with cheap function form coilovers is more easier to drive to its limits compared to my Tein EVS SRC with less effort. Here are my shock Dynos at the same settings as you had. Im going to contact Guy Ankney and see if he can help me out.

Did you happen to drive it on those settings?

Havent driven it with those settings. Still putting my car back together. What compression and rebound settings are you at right now after the revalve?

It's on the softer side for compression between 10 and 13 from stiff, different per corner and rebound front is stiff, 3 to 5 from stiff and rebound rear is soft, so 10 to 12 from stiff but the exact clicks don't matter since the valving isn't the same. Guy set them on the dyno so all 4 produced equal curves. No corner is maxed out but none are anywhere near the middle either.

I did a shakedown at Gingerman on Memorial Day, and the car was not as bad as I expected. I set the shocks based on this thread as a baseline and they worked pretty well, definitely not as bad as the OP. I'll post video this weekend.

Are yours evasive SRC's or regular SRC's?

If they are regular SRC's have you dynoed them? That is a data point missing from my original comparison.

Keep in mind that your set (and a few others) may have just been valved incorrectly. Have you sent your dynos to Evasive or Tein to verify?

If they have been valved incorrectly, why hasnt Evasive or another Tein vendor provided an example of a CORRECT dyno plot.

The specific curve is not a secret, proprietary or magic. No one can steal the curve just by knowing what it is. The magic is the internals and valving to get to that curve. Any suspension worth buying will have examples of their valving in a dyno curve.

Its a very simple solution to all of the speculating.
