I talked to quite a few shock companies today and I ended up ordering some vari shock double adjustables.
I was suprised to find out that the Bilsteins were valved 82 % stiffer in rebound than compression. The Bilsteins are digressively valved and it is possible that the sharp bumps exceed the point on the curve where the rebound does not increase anymore. I am hoping that I can find a curve on the adjustables that is nearly the same. Since the vari shocks are linear, if I match the rate, then it should have more damping force at the upper extremes to control the rebound and still ride well.
I'll post the results after getting them installed. Hopefully they will be here by the end of the week.
