Does anyone have access to a shock dyno for some "after hours" testing? 3 different sets of shocks. Thanks.

The USA KW shock engineer is located in AppleValley not far off the 15. If you don't locate someone, let me know. I know a shop in Burbank who bought a shock dyno a month or so back and they *might* have it assembled and running by now. If you want PRO advice, and dyno sheets, send them too PSI up at Sears point. They do all of my shock rebuilding and revalving. They handle 20-30 Pro teams and are the NorCal Moton authorized rebuilder. The key is: they STOCK everything. A lot of these place stock NOTHING and have to order everything.

I'd be interested in locating someone in the Inland Empire. One of these Off-Road places has to have a dyno.. just let me near it.. LOL

In the Land of the Flatbills Driving Ridiculously Raised Pickups there've got to be a few.

You would think with places like EIBACH and SWIFT Springs being located out here, we would have a shock dyno close by!! I used to drag everything to Bisltein in Poway when I lived in San Diego. Worked closely with them to develop what is now the PSS9's for Caymans!!

Notice the Bilstein truck and engineer in the pic :) We had the closest race shop to them that handled late model mods on Porsches. This car we installed an X51 385hp engine into when it had 1200miles on it. We actually had it running/driving BEFORE Farnbacher had their car done. We just didn't get the press :(

Of course Guy Ankeny/ProParts has their shock dyno in Canoga Park ... fairly reasonable if I recall

Thanks Brad,

I am just looking for dyno sheets for 3 sets of "off the shelf" single adjust shocks I have. Actually the oem are non adjust.

They all "work", it would be nice to have the dyno sheets to compare to my butt dyno.

Trying to watch "costs" as I just ordered another set of dot R's (ouch).

I just had Guy Ankeny dyno and revalve my shocks last Monday, I choose to take them to him in Simi Valley but you could just send them to him UPS and tell him what you want him to do.

Brad, could you be a little more specific about the location of "USA KW shock engineer is located in AppleValley not far off the 15". I live in Apple Valley myself and would like to go in and talk with them. When I've asked around no one has heard of them. Does it go by another name?
