Re: ihc-digest V5 #197 Shocks

[Steve Stegmann <stegmann@domain.elided>]

I know I'm behind, just don't seem to have time to read digests during 
the week.

Check out the Edelbrock shocks.  They are mounted with the rod down.  The 
way it is designed is that the piston moves, not the body of the shock.  
This is backward from normal shocks.  The reason is that they can have 
seriously different valving on the jounce and rebound.  There are 
actually two valves on the piston if my memory serves.  They are set up 
to allow very easy jounce (wheel going up) and then hold on the rebound, 
(wheel goes down).  This allows the wheel to easily go up over a bump but 
not to fall into chuck holes.  They're not cheap but. But test results 
have been very positive.
