Is the primary shocks piston valving linear or digestive ? I hate digressive shocks like Bilsteins. Are these rebuildable / re valvable? Does the shock oil come in direct contact with the gas charge inside ? Or is there a divider inside the shock body separating oil and gas ?
I have not seen the dynos so not sure. They can be rebuilt by KW but it is cheaper to replace the damper versus rebuilding and waiting. Typically twin tubes do not have a free floating piston. That is more for monotube dampers.
@@zevcentric ah ok. Shoot. I have been looking for a good set of rebuildable shocks for my model 3P for sometime now. I come from an off-road racing/ pre-runner background so shocks aren’t really a mystery to me. just wanted to get some thing that I can revalve/tune and service once they wear out. So being able to purchase shock seals or even valving shims from the manufacturer easily would be nice (like you can for fox/king/bilstein). darn I think I might just purchase a set of fox 2.5” diameter remote reservoir shocks and adapt the mounts for Tesla. maybe thread out the lower eye mount and adapt that Tesla lower control arm mount that clears the CV axle. Then just need to worry about the swaybar mount. The rear can just be a stem eye shock . Can even run an external bypass shock if there is space , so you can adjust the travel zones externally. Would be nice because then you would have an actual hydraulic bump zone suited for a 4000lb car blasting pot holes or even a ladder on the freeway 😂 (not the rubber bump stop).
I love the part about the cost of the billet arms! Not very expensive, only about $600.😂😂😂

Having a KW V3 under my MY 2023 how can I improve further and having mountainpass parts added will it only affect directness or also comfort ?
