Shock Valving

I stopped by Icon Vehicle Dynamics last Friday to fine tune the Equators shocks and coilovers.


I'll be the first guy to admit the shock valving is a little tricky and a science that would take me some time to figure out. After going over the companies proprietary shock data, Icon's engineer Dillion revalved both the front and rear shocks, and afterwards they rode like a dream. Shock valving is an aspect of automotive engineering that I think I am going to have to play with more often, its very intriguing.
