    Analysis of shock force vs. velocity graph ?

    Is it not more common to have close to twice the extension force than bump force? The Koni struts we have a;sp have much higher bump force. With out the Absolute graph, it seems hard to tell if the low speed part of the force curve is influenced by bleed or residual pressure?

    Yes, I am more accustom to an absolute force vs velocity plot, those may be average force vs velocity (not as useful).

    Analysis of shock force vs. velocity graph ?

    Do we know why the graphs are one half the cycle? There is no indication of what half (Rebound open / Compression closed or Vice-versa). Greg, I am not very knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of the dynamometer chart, can you explain "friction line" ? Is that the same as the force line...
