Don’t expect 60-40 action unless starting with a really good shock (near impossible).
A lot of rebuilders get better pressure by raising viscosity of fluid…all way to all STP!
Band aid that fails quickly!
Stipe or torsion shocks is about it. Stipe pretty $$$ but very nice.
Are they out of stock these days?
That's what I've read. I have not contacted to find out. Hopefully another batch will be made...
