What graph are you looking at? Certainly not the one on Page 1 here.

I had orignally written something mean here but I edited it out, I was being defensive. I was looking at the graph below, the one Koni made .

Look at the part number for the Bilstein shock on the upper right hand corner and do a google search for it, or here, I'll save you the trouble:

Whatta you know, Bilstein HD OEM replacement shock, big SHOCKER, get it?
I did not once say the AGX's were a better shock than the yellows; I did however say that one user said AGX's felt sportier than Yellows within their tolerable spring rate limits. I have used AGX shocks with AGX approriate springs, and they do feel sporty. I did not claim they are better on a track, not once.
Oh, and the Bilstein HD OEM replacement shocks have more aggressive bump valving than Koni Yellows, and the rebound valving is a bit more aggressive than Koni Yellows on the softest setting. Cheers.

added the PIC charts to the 1st post.
admittedly, i've been out of the suspension world for quite some time, but the PIC and T1R plots really impress me.

vinuneuro has brought up the issue of koni's, out of the box, not matching each other. This issue still hasn't been addressed. Does anybody know how well a set of koni's match up?

I know that, I was just trying to find something to prove them as such, to post in some other threads where people think HP's w/ crappy coilovers are the best thing since sliced bread There are some people that swear up and down that their setup I mentioned "rides like a dream" lol

Theres a link in the 3rd line of the very first post in this thread that explains it pretty well.

Re: (Erik95LS)
are there any shock dynos for:
tein flex
tein super racing (inverted?)
FF2
AMR (custom)
so far I am kinda leaning towards the t1r set for track car (primary) - but driven on streets (2ndary)
also are there other advantages to inverted forks besides unsprung weight & less exposure to (caliper) heat. what shocks dyno'd so far are inverted?
can you really get a lot more bump adjustability from external reservoirs?

If somebody wants to pay for shipping, I have some Silk Road RMA64's(bump and rebound adjustable)...brand new for EK sitting here- wouldn't mind seeing the dyno chart!

The pictures of the Koni SPSS3 dyno plots have been broken links for a while now. it sure would be nice if someone fixed those pics.
EDIT: found some SPSS3 graphs here: http://flickr.com/photos/clen/...65815/

Re: OFFICIAL: Shock Dynos (Evil Ryu)
I checked the mail when I got home today from work and what did I find? Dyno graphs for my Penskes, recently revalved by Guy Ankeny @pro parts USA. Right off the bat you notice they're super linear, with tons of bump dampening. I'll scan the graphs this weekend when I have access to a scanner.
These were valved specifically for my EG, 800 pound front springs, 1000 pound rear. Street modified autocrosser.
