I did. Well, I didn't physically rebuild the shocks myself, but I spec'd the valving.

Mine were just like yours before I had them rebuilt. Now its not too bad.

Care to share how you did it? Guy Ankeny says that he has an approach for making them more streetable also, without giving up anything on the auto-x course.

My car is so stiff on the street, I just about don't drive it except at auto-x's

My answer is probably a thread all its own. The long and short of it is I radically changed everything in the front shocks except the low speed damping rates.

Here's something you might consider: With Guy's build, I always backed the rebound adjustment all the way to full soft. The rebound valving was so agressive that just this one adjustment made a HUGE impact on ride quality. If you're not doing this, do so.

Also, if you want a full thread discussing stock class shock valving, just say so. I'll get things started based on my experience and knowledge.
