Quote:Re-valving is possible either here in NZ or in Australia. So if I have to
get some SW20/AE92/Camaro shocks re-valved, it can be done. All I
need is to find a technician (shock engineer) who can advise me on the
best valving for my use... that will be the hard part !!

If you can organise someone to measure the center of gravity height (or a close estimate with scales) and front roll center height (measure your front LCA angle and strut angle with e.g. an iPhone and measure strut top-to ball joint length).
If you give me those inputs I can give you a valving recommendation that will be in the ballpark for your needs.. say 85% of whats possible. The final 15% is trial and error, thats why expensive shocks have those knobs. No worries, a pair of billies at 85% blow everything available for the 86 out of the water.
