[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 640669, member: 1997"] I've been reading on Fox's new DSC adjusters. ([url=http://accutuneoffroad.com/articles/how-fox-dsc-dual-speed-compression-adjusters-work/]http://accutuneoffroad.com/articles/how-fox-dsc-dual-speed-compression-adjusters-work/[/url]) Great article from Accutune. I am wondering exactly what happens inside the reservoir as oil pressure rises in the shock during compression. My understanding is that if the reservoir has 200 psi of nitrogen in it when the oil pressure reaches 200 psi the floating piston in the reservoir will begin to move compressing the nitrogen even more. The DSC adjuster allows oil flow to be restricted to the reservoir. Being externally adjustable is HUGE for me as my tuning session are also my riding weekends. An external adjuster would allow me to make real time changes over a weekend without removing the shocks. Then back at home I can make valving adjustments to closer to the end goal. Here is my biggest struggle. I have 2 rigs and own 8 coilovers. I can't justify adding the DSC adjusters to my shocks since they are FOX 2.0" and a 2.5" shocks are what I really desire. I work with hydraulics on a weekly basis and did a little brainstorming and came up this the following. ([url=http://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Valves/Flow-Control-Valves/3-8-NPT-8-GPM-PRINCE-WFC-600-IN-LINE-FLOW-CONTROL-9-7960-6.axd]http://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Valves/Flow-Control-Valves/3-8-NPT-8-GPM-PRINCE-WFC-600-IN-LINE-FLOW-CONTROL-9-7960-6.axd[/url]) I'm considering adding these to my buggy at the current reservoir. My thinking is it would give me adjustable from 0-100% flow to my reservoirs. Same basic principle of the Fox DSC adjuster for low speed adjustment but would not have the adjustable high speed relief of the shims. I would have to remove the shocks and adjust shims to tune that. There would be unrestricted flow on the rebound stroke allowing the floating piston in the reservoir to return. There are several smart guys on this site and I would like to hear some opinion about this. :stir: [/QUOTE]
