    Really handy video! There are a lot of places that sell cheap replacement inserts for chinese/taiwanese coilovers now. This has me thinking about buying some and building myself some Bilstein internal custom coilovers

      Thank you, I appreciate it.
      And my advice to you is “Go for it”.
      Go to google and type in “Diy schock revalve clublexus” for my 3 part, full scale parts list and tutorial from A to Z.

    I didn't think for some reason that the BC Racing valves would be non-50/50. I actually wanted a biased ratio, so it's good to see. For the roads I drive fast on I encounter severe bumps on hard high speed turns. I want the compression to dampen less so that my car hops less and for the rebound to dampen more to make up for lack of dampening on compression and prevent the car from bouncing.

      You may want to look into a digressive piston profile if the bumps are an issue. The bilstein valving guide in the clublexus post will guide you in how to shim the piston for what you desire.

      Are the BC Racing ZR series digressive? I don't see them use that term in their description.

      DjRjSolarStar if you meant the "BC BR series", they are linear in their shock profile. The 3 different vehicle type sets I had dynoed all were linear.
      I would google digressive vs linear to get an idea and also the pros/cons.
      Now that I understand the difference between the two, I would pick a digressive shock hands down (Daily driver fun car).
      Keep in mind that just because a shock is digressive does not mean it is perfect. A digressive shock can still be valved inappropriately for a specific type of vehicle/car.

    Good evening I am writing to ask you if you can change the extension braking of the 595 Abarth BC racing by changing the piston or changing the oil density or if there is a modification kit. Thank you cordiality Ghjuanni

      Ghjuanni Jr11 OK I think I understand what you’re speaking of. Are you referring to the rebound forces (prevent shock from extending) of the actual shock?
      If so yes this can be adjusted by changing of the shim stacks on the rebound side of the piston.
      But before I change the shim stacks I would look at changing to a shock piston that is truly 50-50 digressive force on both rebound and compression side. Like the Bilstein 699 shocks piston you see used inside the Bc racing shock in this video
      Then after obtaining a 50-50 Force shock piston, I would look at arranging the shim stacks on the rebound side just as you are requesting.
      Please google “DIY shock revolve tutorial clubLexus”
      I wrote A detailed step-by-step tutorial of my shock testing process, parts list, where to buy parts, and the results On the clubLexus.com car forum.

    what is the difference between their piston wear band? :)

      I believe this explanation is in the “clublexus.com shock revalve tutorial” .
      Just Google the term in quotes above.
