racer Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 ive got some old ass coilovers im going to put on my go kart, simple enough. the spring rate is nearly perfect for the leverage ratios and desired travel. but the valving is horendous, in fact its got no rebound damping, compression only. to the point: if i drill a small hole in shock body to drain the oil (they arent servicable) then it will have no damping characteristics whatsoever, right? cause if this is true im gonna get some cool ass shocks to run for the vavling duties. kinda like when sand cars run a coil carrier and a bypass, just not that sophisticated. does that make sense?

RNBRAD Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I see your idea, wonder if it would work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerzippy Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 It will work, kinda like the dirt latemodel stock cars do on their rear suspension. The coilover shock acts only as a slider/spring mount and the other shock is the control shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
