FX3 Ride Control Billstein stock settings
I saw this in the book of 101 C4 Corvette projects or something like that. It's probably been on here before and this is stock for a C4 with the FX3 shock system from Billstein. The book says Billstein can tailor a chip of some sort for your specific needs such as racing where you want a certain shock stiffness from the get go and not have it be speed related.
As I understand it the basic settings, tour, sport and race, are the basic settings for the rotation of the rod in the shock with the holes in it for damping effect. Rotation from 0-180 degrees. Then as your speed in any one of the three settings increases/decreases, the stock chip function rotates the rod more or less but tailored to that setting. Each of the three settings appears to have six unique smaller gradation settings within it. Sort of like a ladder with different starting points for each ladder so you end up with 18 possible settings for stiffness. Lance P....At least this is what I got out of the article..and I'll submit it in case other new people are here. If anyone knows this to be incorrect, please correct. Was surprised to see it was not 3 but 18 possible settings. |
