Dedicated shock engineer. NASCAR's got 'em, too.

That's the zone of diminishing returns... but if a team has the instrumentation, funding, and manpower to tune an 8-way system... more power to them!

I'd guess that the standard 4 adjustments are there (high and low speed, compression and rebound). Now I'm going to wildly speculate the other 4, in hopes that someone will correct me:
  • tuning the capacity of external reservoirs and internal chambers (not just pressures)
  • tune the compression/rebound transitions to control hysteresis
  • narrow or widen the channels within the piston (not just the shims)
  • control of secondary nozzles

8 way adjustable, hell my TV remote is less adjustable then that 0.o

If these two were true... :wub: :wub:

Now that i think about it, how would larger channels be good? Wouldnt smaller channels increase the damping force? I guess in a way it would go from normal x size to reduced x-# size making it stiffer..although then youd need a small enough adjustment to not have undersprung shocks, but enough of an adjustment to make noticeable.

Adjustable secondary nozzles wouls be just coo.

I want to know what road the GTR was on. The casino at the end suggests that it's around Vegas, but I have yet to find a decent road around here.

Regression, too.

Pretty sure it was Penske that figured out regressive curves.
