Split Valve Shocks

[Cal Metal]

Need some help guys. I am trying to locate a shock manufacturer that makes a split valve type system for my '95 Neon ACR. Am trying to control rearend lift when braking. Any help appreciated.

Hi Cal,

Carrera, Bilstein, Penske.

Any one of these folks can give you custom damping rates for both bump and rebound.

It is pretty normal stuff for them.

Thanks Richard. I will check on those manufacturers. Bilstein's website is hard to get info. Koni's is much better. Thanks.

Cal,

Dampers are probably not the way to control rear end lift. They're primarily meant to keep the wheels from bouncing, and secondarily to keep transitions under control. You're trying to decrease the end value of a transition. You can't do that unless you set the damping much too high to deal effectively with the other more important things a shock does. Stiffer springs are required.
