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

If u guys want to step up to a high end race/street shocks MCS (Moton) has shocks for our cars BDR. I've had a set of (prototypes) Double adjustables for over a year but due to outside circumstances have not gotten my car on the track to give feedback to MCS. MCS now offers a double adjustable (non remote canister) that would make an outstanding damper for street/track combination cars (for BDRs).

The shocks that come on BDR are or ok for the street but not for track use or high speed.

Lex at MCS can fix U up.
