We have a purpose built ‘state of the art’ facility to recalculate and revalve dampers to customers exact specifications (spring rates, motion ratios and corner weights)
Our shock service will include complete strip and clean of all components. Then they will be checked and damper will be reassembled using new components where necessary. Should customers require any extra work done (new platforms, reservoirs, etc) this should be expressed at the time of placing the order.
Information needed for our revalving service.
When placing your order for a revalve, it is best to offer as much information as possible.
We will need to know the following information:
1
Type of racing
2
Type of car
3
Spring rates
4
Motion ratios
5
Corner Weights (if available)
6
Axle Weight/Unsprung Weight
7
Spring Preload/Suspension Sag
8
Any information about the shocks you currently use

Details about the vehicles current handling.
Just like most race car parts, a damper's internals are a consumable item and need to be replaced at regular intervals to maintain its long-term life and maximise its performance.
Although we use the best quality oil available to minimise the effects of wear, it still degrades with increased usage, so regular oil changes are required. The oil seals and O-rings are too of the highest quality but should be replaced with the oil along with the main piston shims, which also lose performance with fatigue and wear.
The oil and valving shims are the fundamental requirements for the creation of damping forces/ resistance and are constantly being cycled with every damper movement. Often, the result of this wear is shown up as having to increase the dampers adjustments as the season progresses.
The importance of damper maintenance and servicing is critical and to get the best performance out of your damper receiving regular check ups is a must. Listed below is exactly what the damper maintenance and servicing includes:
Complete strip, thorough clean, and inspection for damage of the dampers main components
Replacement of main piston valving shims and Compression adjuster Shims as necessary
