Definitely use the adjuster if you can get the shock dyno to prove they're consistent, the stuff from the East has come a long way, seems like more and more people with access to the tools to verify trust the adjuster to be consistent not like it was ten to fifteen years ago.
What looks good in Excel rarely translates perfectly to the real world. |

EDIT: I think we're mostly talking about the same thing. The COB spring is a little confusing. The preload shim(s) control how much the stack is preloaded. A thinner preload shim means more preload (the Bilstein digressive pistons are "dished"). Shim preload can control where the knee occurs and with the rest of the stack, how much it "blows off". Preload and the bleed shims have a large effect on low speed valving. - Andrew Last edited by Racecomp Engineering; 08-15-2019 at 02:55 PM. |

Damper should be assembled soon and I'll hopefully have a dyno graph in the coming weeks.

Another update. I learned some stuff today, most of it bad.
Here's the rod disassembled with the rebound and compressions stacks laid out. There was an ungodly amount of threadlocker on the end nut that took a blow torch to get off. Here's the new digressive stack with Bilstein piston. I intended to have this assembled today, but I then ran into this: The Bilstein 12mmID 46mmOD COB digressive piston is NOT the same size as the Megan Racing one. I confirmed with Megan beforehand that their pistons were 46mm, so someone has their measurements wrong. I ended up putting on the Megan linear piston with my digressive shims as pictured above. I know you can make a linear piston act digressive with the right preload so that's the plan from here on out. Then in my infinite wisdom I put on the rubber seal cap and c-clip on the wrong end of the shock body. These are next to impossible to take out, and I'm getting busy with IRL stuff so the next update on these might be a week or two. Gonna work on the GUI calculator in the mean time. |

Did you get the 36mm Bilstein piston?
