    Shock Dyno? How do you read them? (megan ez-street content)

    I am almost set on buying megan ez-streets. But my question, How do you read shock dynos? Is this considered a "good" dyno? Good being very subjectovei considering these are $600 coils

    Just looking at the lines 1 to 1 against 949's Xida Club-sports and FM's VMAXX (yes I know the xidas are on a COMPLETELY different level)

    Looks to me as if those 2 dynos read completely opposite of each other.

    Here's a simpler version of learning to read it

    Here's a much more in depth reading

    These should set you pretty straight and what to look for. Hope this helps

    If that dyno is correct the EZ Streets don't have much in the way of rebound to control stiff springs. I have a feeling that for some reason that the rebound is showing on the positive side on the EZ Street dyno.

    Some dampers are primarily bounce-adjustable rather than rebound, just like you see in the top graph. If I remember right, the KYB AGX for NA was that way.
