FX-3 ....something I did not know
Was not aware that the FX-3 system had six shock valve settings per switch setting....if you were in the performance mode the shocks stiffen more as you go faster.....below 25, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125...

Re: FX-3 ....something I did not know
I didnt know until I read the small drivers book as a part of the MY90-91 pizza box. It speaks to this along with a graph ratio. Neat huh?

Re: FX-3 ....something I did not know
I thought the first two settings were really only used in touring...and that the switch settings basically decrease the speeds at which they begin to firm up. Which is why if you are at highway speed and flip the switch around nothing should change at certain speeds, because you are full hard by then. I don't think you need to be at 125mph to be at the hardest setting.

Depends on the valving. They offer standard and morroca valving for the Autocross types.

Re: FX-3 ....something I did not know
$100 ea doesn't matter if it is stock or custom valved.
I had mine done something like 20-30% more rebound and 10% more compression. They may have just tested one out on the shock dyno to get close to the appx valving desired, but i have a feeling they have done enough of them to know how to set them up just by giving them the firmness increase desired. If i had to do it again, I would have put a little more rebound and compression valving in the fronts, but not the rears. |

On the FX3 the early cars it does say it the the ZR-1 owner's manual about the 6 selections within each of the three switch positions. Remember the system changes two more times on it's way to becoming the "active handling" system that debuted in the C5. I think the 93 & up cars have an updated version and the 96 cars have a system without the driver controlled FX3 selector switch. I think that is the time line anyway!   Tom
