Hi , sorry to bring back a old thread but a great read I must say.

If anyone has the time maybe biuld your own shocker_dyno , plans are on this website and he also sells the required electronics hardware/software.

SportDevices Dumper Analyzer shock absorber dynamometer. http://www.sportdevices.com/shockabsorber/index.htm

I will eventual make one myself just have a few to many projects going on at this stage.

If anyone has made their own shock absorber dynamometer , lets have a few picture for show and tell.

It is great if one can afford fully adjustable shock absorbers/McPherson struts inserts but always wanted to know the inside workings of a shock absorber hydraulics and how the valving is adjusted???

Hey guys (and ladies), I have a question about shock/spring/tire setup. There is so much useful information here and I'm not sure where to post this but here goes....

I'm looking for a little softer ride out of my '90 ef.

Right now I'm running the this:
tire: Falcon 195/50 15 on 2000 si rims
shock: Tokiko Blue
spring: skunk2 w/ adjustable coilovers-slip-on

All of this came on the car.
What would you recommend changing to get a little better ride? I was first gonna go to 195/60 tires and see what happens. My friend wants to trade some Nuespeed drop springs for my Skunk2. Would that better better?

I love the cornering ability but it's just too harsh on these terrible NYC roads!
Help!! Any info or thoughts is much appreciated!
thanks,
np
