Just curious as to what the intended shock build is for these new Bypass shock systems. Thanks all.
It doesn't matter what style of shocks you use. They are normal pistons, but when the are moving out (rebound) the valve opens and it allows for faster rebound.
So basically you tune the compression ratio as you used to with shock oils and with the valves, you can speed up the rebound. This should give you a more responsive car with more grip in theory, but that's just theory.
I wonder what the experiences are of people that tried them in their cars.
