Default Shock dyno charts for 04 z06 oem shocks?

Does anyone have these to post or email to me? I've got 3 sets of shocks I'm playing with & trying to get more "objective" & less SOTP with the analysis.

Thanks!

I only have C6 T1 and C6-ZO6 dyno data. The first plots shown here are the C6 T1:

Thanks ! Maybe someone else has some. I may get some done by ProParts out here in SoCal , but it gets expensive with 12 shocks to do.

Default Would be happy to help.

So you are looking for dyno curves for '04 Z06 shocks and what other 2 sets?

I can try and round up the shocks you are looking for and dyno them, if I don't already have the data handy.

It sure is nice having a shock dyno in the lobby.

Just let me know what data you are looking for and I will see what I can do.

I would love to see a comparison of the 04 Z06 shocks and your new Sport shocks. As i have the 04's on now and am considering your sports.

Hey Josh do you make poly bushings for the rear Z06 sways or will the
Z51 bushings crush down?
Sorry to all for diverting this thread.
Thanks

Bulitt,

We don't make bushing for the Z06 rear sway bar. The reason is that the Z06 rear sway bar is too stiff for the front sway bar and causes oversteer.

Josh,

I have 04 ZO6 shocks on my car. They have about 600 miles on them.

When we put the Pfadt Sport shocks on you can have these to test if you need them.
