ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - FX3 Bilstein Revalve Settings for Marlin or Morocco Springs?

mike100 · 12-07-2016

Back in 2012 or so Bilstein was still doing custom damping and I asked for 10% more compression and 20% more rebound on my set. this was less aggressive than the "Marraca" valving.

In my experience, there is plenty of compression to be had by programming the actuator to turn up the stiffness sooner in the speed range, but mainly I felt the oem shocks seemed floaty and wanted a little more rebound damping. I dropped mine off in person and talked to the guy doing the work. He had more than just the one damping profile on record- he straight up asked me for percentages. They have shock dynos. Too bad they won't let them do it anymore.
