What do the valving numbers mean?Answer:
Valving numbers vary by brand. In general Bilstein uses xxx/xx. The xxx is the compression damping and xx is the rebound damping, both in Newton Meters per Second. King uses shim thicknesses. For example, the compression stack might be all .010” Shims and the rebound stack might be .012” shim thicknesses. Fox uses percentages. For example 50/70, where 50 means 50% of the available compression damping and 70 means 70% of the available rebound damping.
