I guess I'll update this thread. Lots of progress since my last post, I know you're all happy to hear. Figured out a lot of the math and how shim stacks work. I'm updating the first post as I go with more information. I currently have a set of Megan EZ Street coilovers sitting all opened up I'm working on (good god this is a long process, everything is threaded on so tight. Also FYI shock fluid smells disgusting, I don't recommend opening your shocks up).


This is what I'm aiming for:
FRONT 4k @ 1.74hz: 40.79lbs/in/s (crit)
REAR 5k @ 1.64 hz: 54.27lbs/in/s (crit)
OR
REAR 4.5k @ 1.56 hz: 51.48lbs/in/s (crit) (if i can grab some 4.5k swifts, they seem harder to find)



I might do 5k front 6k rear, which is closer to a 2hz front 1.85hz rear setup, it just depends on how the shim stacks dyno. Shim arrangements are much less of a science than I thought. I guess I could use Restackor but I'm cheap and lazy so Bilstein PDF guessing will do for now... (actually dyno time is expensive, maybe i will get Restackor, who knows)





I can upload some cool pictures in the coming days that show how your damping adjusters work and what's inside of BC/Megan coilovers (they seem to be very similar, not sure if BC is worth the price honestly. Just my speculation though).
