Can someone please enlighten me regarding the shock valving specs I have found on this site? ie.. 360/80? I have a good understanding of compression and rebound dampening, but am curious as to what these numbers represent, and the advantage of this particular setup.
Kyle- can you make some room out 'the window' for my 9000's?
Thanks in Advance,
Craig

They represent the force required to move a shock a certain distance in a certain amount of time. In the case of Bilstein valving it is the force in newton meters required to move the shock .52 meters or about 20".

In this case the 360 is the resistance of the shock to being expanded, and the 80 is the force required to compress the shock.

Thats newton meters per minute BTW.
