"Old Style" valving vs "Deflected Disc" valving
I'm looking to get some shocks gone over and have been told that my afco's can be updated from the 'old style monroe' valving to the new style 'deflected disc' valving .. anybody happen to know what any of that means and why the newer is better ?
Thank you
Save the caps for someone else.

For the person or persons trying to copy one curve from a manufacturer to another - you are MISSING THE BOAT!!! You must understand flow, # of ports in use and the affect that both have for tension to create the desired valving. Its funny to listen to some of you that "UNDERSTAND" all this shock stuff and you really don't. You guys make me laugh A LOT!
You make me laugh a lot too with your smug all caps comments. I guess your not as sharp as you think you are if you can't make your shocks mimic another brand/design dampening curve. I don't have to know what parts are in your shocks or number of ports or the flow, I know what's in mine and what to change to make it do what's needed. You see there are so many variables from one brand or design to another, knowing what you've got is pointless. If you take into account the rod displacement differences or the piston diameter differences or valving style(deflective disc or slotted carrier & bypass) from shock brand/style there is no need to know what particular parts you may have used. All I need to know is what parts I need in mine to achieve the desired dampening effects. Look at that, I managed to respond without using a full line of caps to do it. No I don't use a dyno that scribbles with a pencil and no I don't use a drill and hand stroking to compare results. For my money a Roerhig is the best dyno to use and only the highest quality synthetic oils, I prefer Motul, but there are other good ones. Go Dawgs!
