That would be great, Lee.
I would love to see something like that.

There have been number of comments about good and bad points of a variety
of performance shocks lately, this thread was in regards to AGXs.
Would anyone like to see any actual hard data from shock dyno graphs on a
few popular brands? They are dyno graphs showing how much rebound and
compression damping forces are generated from a stand still up to 13
inches
per second/.33 meters per second. It also shows what is effected and what
is not effected when you make your adjustments on each shock. It might
explain (or confuse) a little more about what shocks do and don't do. I
have a Powerpoint shock dyno comparison presentation showing dyno graphs
of
the front shocks for a '92-00 Civic/ '94-01 Integra from KONI Sport,
Bilstein Sport, Tokico Illumina, and KYB AGX. All of the shocks were
brand
new, out of the box units that were dynoed then cut apart to show what the
physical internal differences are. I use both as tools during my tech
seminars. The Powerpoint is usually a visual that I project and discuss
various outlined points during the presentation. I don't know how it will
stand up as a self-guided tour but it might be worth a try.
I have just finished a slightly more thorough comparison of '94+ Mustang
front and rear struts and shocks including factory stock units as well. In
many ways it is even more enlightening but obviously the Honda fronts
might
be more pertinent to this list. I have been thinking about posting them
both on the KONI web site so people can see some real hard data numbers
that
head to head compare brands. If you list guys think you'd be interested,
I'll get them posted on our site and see what you think.

Yes...there are stupid questions......stupid people ask them.... =)
