[QUOTE="MACE, post: 69620, member: 16716"] I'm the village idjut and all I've worked on are my poor KYBs and I use Visegrips on everyting but I love this kind of theory thread so here's my $.02 ($.03 CDN). I [i]think[/i] that the effect of the midvalve is felt when the flow through the rebound piston is sufficient to be restricted by the flow area between the bottom mv shim and the cartridge wall. When that area starts to restrict flow the restriction is modulated by the mv stack deflecting which results in a smaller shim O.D. and a larger flow area. All that coil spring does is shut the valve on rebound. Now if this theory is true, replacing the mv with a rigid check plate (like Race Tech demands) would in fact [i]increase[/i] the compression damping. Ah the mysteries..... ------------------ MACE One night I was layin' down, I heard mama 'n papa talkin' I heard papa tell mama, "you let that boy MOTO, it's in him, and it got to come out..."
