Default speed sensitive suspension damping

I was seeing if anybody knows of any strut manufacturers that have speed sensitive damping available.

The only shock that I know that has low speed and high speed is the Penske 8760 or Moton 3 ways... What do you wanna know?

Koni electrics, but for the rear you have to run a custom adapter to fit the long shock/spring assembly.

I've been working on this setup for a while now. Hopefully I'll get to use it next year!

Koni electrics don't have high speed bro, just rebound and compression which are seperate adjustments... The MSD box that you're using for set up controls the shock on time based or however you have it set up to soften or stiffen your shock down the track. You running the sweeps too on your set up?

just looking at options for shock shaft speed sensitive adjustability. I guess I'll check those out or look into getting some custom valving. Thanks!

Guess I should have read everything before I commented. lol

I'm not using a MSD to adjust anything with the shock.
