From what I have learned over teh last couple months is that for the stuff we do you wont need the remotes. Its basically for high speed desert stuff and the extra fluid help keep things working propertly and not fade out. There were a few of the local socal guys down there and they were running the NON resovior coilovers BUT they had these bad boys on each coner http://dnevins.com/n-552-king-2-5-triple-bypass-truck4x4-shocks.html

for most people a emulsion shock is perfectly fine. the remote resi is there for the oil to go and be cooled when the shock is compressed.when the shock is extended it pulls the cool oil back in the shock.helps against cavitation(shock fade)thats a bad thing. the jeep speed shocks run around 240 to 280 degrees. anything above 300 is very bad. the seals will start to melt and the oil is basicly usless. bottom line is no one goes fast enough(minus travis,me,hengl and cheeks) to require a remote resi. i could write a long explination on a bypass shock but id rather have you ask me if i have a newcastle in my hand. :kranker:

Easy there big guy! First off I didn't say I was keeping track of how many times you have been wheeling because I really dont care! All I said was its been a while since you have gone and the rigs are a lot faster now! Second in order for you to be ahead of me you would have to actually go wheeling :fake:
