Linear VS Digressive Coilover Shocks: What's The Difference?

[@gabexvideos7363]

Thank you for the video! From what I understand, it seems that a disgressive damping setup would be better for my situation. I plan to use my car primarily for street driving, with occasional track days. Given the heavy traffic and the numerous potholes in my area, I need a suspension that can handle both conditions. I hope you can read this comment-could you please offer some advice? Thank you again!

You'll probably want linear in that case.

I have a completely different understanding of digressive pistons. On slow piston speed, it'll have high/your set dampening. On high piston speed, it'll bypass the oil to allow the piston to move faster. That way, your car won't get air borne when hitting a big bump even with high dampening.

yeah he's got it reversed i think too

[@nefariousracing]

Yes, the amount of damping force applied to the piston tapers off at high speeds compared to low speeds. That's what I said in the video.

Hi, for drifting and some street, which one do you recommend?

[@nefariousracing]

If you're trying to decide between Linear Vs Digressive, I'd probably go with Digressives but a lot of it is up to personal preference.

[@KathleenFriesen]

how do you change your coil over kit from lenar to digressive?

[@KathleenFriesen]

can you post a video showing how to assemble a shock/spring set up at linear vs digressive?

[@nefariousracing]

@@KathleenFriesen This is done by changing the shocks' internals and depends on the kit etc, it's not as simple as just swapping out springs. The only kit I know that has this ability is Riaction but you have to send your coilovers to them to do it.

Good to now!
