lets talk shocks

while we were at krikkes house he gave me a set of shocks to teardown and get troy pierces top secret valving specs. well i tore them apart but im a little reluctant to throw the setup i found in them into our shocks. i was so excited but not so much anymore. they didnt have dual stage valving and also were really light shimmed and were bottoming on the IFP inside. one shock had a longer shaft and the valing wasnt the same between the two. this isnt todds fault at all he was extremely nice, i mean what guy lets you borrow his own personal shocks to take his hard earned secrets? thanks todd
