Long Travel BS Thread

that's the thing....when you valve, you make your suspension performance optimum through a certain terrain and driving style. However, you're not always wheeling in the same shit, so if you valve your coilovers for Ocotillo at a speed you like to go, then you go to Barstow or Glamis, and it rides all shit, what are you going to do? Revalve the coilovers at camp? Or do you turn a knob? Choice is yours.

 

I need mine stiffer too...

 

Joke's on my, my suspension was valved better with my 8" King Coilovers from Engage than the past two trips with my 12" Race Series triples. it's going to take me at least 3 or 4 more trips before I get the valving down.

First trip out it was way too stiff (it was a double stacked .020 shims), almost insane. We then took some shims out, took out the rate plate, and ran it in glamis, and it was way too soft. Now is the fun part of putting some back in, etc.

 

two little blue pills should do the trick

 

did you take all the valving out of your coilover?

 

try just the tip

 

no, we decided to run the same valving in the coil over and bypass so they are both doing the same amount of work, and im not over working or over heating one set of shocks.

 

yes, but running equal valving in both the coilover and the bypass to achieve a level of dampening vs running all the valving in the bypass and nothing in the coilover to achieve the same degree of dampening divides the work better amongst the two shocks, letting you truly take advantage of the extra oil you use with running secondaries.

 

haha it's just paper weight for now until I get it dialed in right

 

do what arron said, if it needs to be stiffer, go ahead.

 

Buy them fast! 10 minutes, $800 16" triple kings

sold for 840

 

jeeze so cheap. with i had the coin for those, saw em a couple days ago

 

you are correct pops...been told by a few tuners and fox to run the c/o slightly lighter then the bypass...that way u get more tunability from the bypass tubes but still get the benefits from the extra oil

 

just tore apart my smoothies and mic'd em myself the 25 stack was all .008 insted of the last one being .20

and they were valved 25 comp 75 reb

i revalved to 30/60

 

yes i did becuase i thought the 60 would be too stiff on the road and smaller bumps

 

30 comp/ 60 reb ??
