Buddy sent me the link below, I searched but didn't find it posed before.

Aside from the slightly ignorant comment at the top about "if it's not on the list, it's crap", then stating in almost the same breath that Moton and JRZ were not included, it is a pretty good technical review of popular strut options for the vette.

Nice I'm a noob when it comes to shocks. Can anyone give me a basic tutorial of what you're looking for?

Tell me if this is correct? The positive slope portion of the graph is compression and the negative is rebound. The angle of the line shows the "force" i.e. the steeper the upper/positive line the more compression pressure the shock has and the steeper the lower/negative line is the more rebound force.

But what does that all translate to?

I.e. a car that nose dives too much needs more compression force?

or

A car that isn't getting traction off of turns needs stiffer rebound?

etc. etc.

Gotta remember that Dennis originally wrote this set of articles about six to seven years ago; thus, why some shock manufacturers aren't on the list . . . they didn't have a North American presence back then.

He was one of my sources for having shocks dyno'ed back then.
