Jer,
It has been a long time since I have posted on here, but I need some opinions.
I am curious on your thoughts on different types of shim stack builds.
I am a fan of using more shims of a thinner variety, than less of the thicker ones.
I have had very good luck running stacks such as 1.350x.006x7, 1.200.006x7, 1.050.006x7, .900.006x7. I know these are not metric sizes (Penske shocks).
The standard stack would be similar to the following. 1.350x.012x1, 1.200x.012x1, 1.050x.012x1, .900x.012x1.
The debate here started when someone said that the multi shim stacks have to much friction. I think they react much quicker, and to a driver they have a better feel.
I guess I blew it when I said driver, this is for an auto racing application. It never hurts to learn though!
Just for reference, 1.350=34.29mm, 1.200=30.48mm, 1.050=26.67mm, .900=22.86mm, .006=.15, .012=.304.
Thanks.
