XV Shocks - pics.....

[dqhemi]

We should be shipping our Level I B and E body suspensions in about ten days. The company doing the shocks for us sent me these pics and they are shipping them out on Monday or Tuesday to us. I think these are the last pieces we need before we're ready to ship.

The shocks are high pressure monotube, real race quality shocks custom valved to our specs based upon 4-post and track testing. Monotubes are pretty much state of the art today.

Our shocks are valved specifically for each platform, so B and E body shocks are valved differently and optimized to work with each car in conjunction with leaf springs, torsion bars and sway bars all optimized to work as a package.

The shocks are 100% shock dyno'd to spec by the manufacturer and rebuildable and revalveable. Dynoing the shocks is something race teams do to get truly matched sets. They are verifying the compression and rebound as well as high and low speed velocities match the settings on our development shocks for each platform.

The Level I shocks aren't adjustable, but if you wanted to, you can adjust the nitrogen charge in these shocks and alter its characteristics some. Shocks for our Level II suspension are adjustable. Gas charge I believe is somewhere north of 250 PSI.

Enjoy!
