Just curious...most aftermarket performance shocks use a pretty standard numbering system to define the compression and rebound. Do you have these? Have you checked each them on a dyno? In most cases shock stiffness should be matched to the spring rates of a car, especially for street use. Are they all 50-50? What are the spring rates being talked about here? I would like to know for my own knowledge and reference.

I was also curious what the term "it's better" means...

Thanks
