Hi,

Like this.

Do you want a affirmation on the kits performance or a full blown tutorial on suspension theory? In short more oil volume throught the base valve allows for a greater degree of tunability. As with any product there is gonna be a leap of faith involved. Stick around I'm sure there will be differing opinions popping up. Sorry about my cynical attitude. You'd serve yourself well by offering up a more detailed and comprehensive query regarding the case in point.

The shivers - like most forks are hugely tuneable I would suggest only splashing lots of cash on shiny bits if you know what your specific problem is and standard tuning can't fix it which is probably unlikely. I guess what i'm trying to say is get your suspension set up properly by yourself or a tuner as the difference is often described as 'night and day' where-as that valve kit will make a small amount of difference I'd guess, plus you couldn't reference your setup etc as the new valve will be different...
