Default Re: FX3 Shocks and Coilover questions

Jeff, thanks for not taking me the wrong way!

I just wanted to make sure to mention that the valving on the replacement stuff is softer than the original assembly line stuff that came with the cars.

I was concerned for any possible negative effects of having two pairs of shocks with dramatically different valving.

I hear ya about the dinero situation. Ya know I was thinking that when Ron was done with the rebuild he spent over $500.00 on all four, I'm almost positive. His thread is here in the tech section. I followed it because Jeff offered his diagnosis on what my car was doing & he reminded me to either rebuild all four or replace all four at the same time. I also remember that Ron had kind of a sour taste after his experience with Bilstein....kind of nickle & dimed him to death & the shocks came back not even painted! That's what tipped me to just buy new ones and maybe send my OE ones out later.


Tom
