So what do you guys think of this shock dyno? Don't think these are for an s2000 but wondering nonetheless. Looks like a pretty darn large adjustment range.

This is a shock with separate compression and rebound adjustment.

Looking at the two graphs on the left side what would you say?

they look quite good in terms of range of adjustment and looking like the forces are in the right range for an S2000, but there's a lot more to a shock than just these F-V average plots

^I completely agree. What else are the key things you'd be looking for if I might ask.

The plots look too good to me but maybe they're just smoothed and averaged until they look perfect. Every real shock dyno sheet I've seen has bumps and anomalies that the marketing guys hate.

Steve, I wouldn't buy a new shock until the racing and/or autocross guys start winning with them. The stopwatch doesn't lie.

Not planning on buying into them, just curious to see what people thought.

I plan on sticking to something already proven.
