as topic states, does anyone have stock s2000 shock dyno,
i am looking to buy a set of shock, but would like to know the spec on my stock shock before i search for a new set of stock, thank you very much

 

 

uh..

 

Mods, move to Under the Hood.

I'm not aware of anyone having dyno'd the stock dampers.

 

This is a new one on me. What the heck is a "shock dyno"?

I did something like this in my youth. I put the weight of someone (and a sweet young thing she was, too) on the back trunk. Then I added my weight and did a little bouncing up and down to test the springs. I'm not so sure it was very "sophisticated", but it was very satisfying.

 

And what happened when you woke up?







































Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

I'm also interested to see dyno chart on the stock shocks as well. When I first got my MY00 (at almost 70k kms), I was quite surprised the stiff low-speed valving from the factory (which is good). Many of the aftermarket shocks I've had experince with (not on the S though) don't seem to provide as stiff slow-speed damping when set to have similar high-speed damping as the S'es stock shocks.

On a side note, if you're still looking for Koni Yellows, seems like they have too soft bump damping compare to stock. That's good for stiff springs but if you're running stock springs and want to keep it that way, I'd suggest something else with more bump damping.

shock dynamometer is a piece of equipment that allows us to diagnose and correct flaws in the damping capabilities of your shock absorber. It works by cycling your shock up and down at a rate determined by the operator. When the
