      We have a few auto cross and track day clients who have switched from Bilstein and Koni fixed valving shocks (and QA1s) to Varishocks with really good results. This due mostly to the fact that the out of the box non adj. shocks were underdampened for their spring rates and application of course (and the QA1s faded in long sessions and had inconsistant valving). One of the best indicators may be two clients who won 1st place in GrandSport at the BigBend open course road race in Texas about 6 weeks ago. The race is 60 miles long in each direction and they reach top speeds in the 160mph range. Switching from a Stage 1 to a Stage 2, Currectrac rear arms for the other aftermarket arms that were on it and going from mono tube Bilsteins to Varishock QS1s took them from last years 5th place to this years 1st place (in a G body vs. modified C5s etc.!). They reported that the shocks felt exactly the same at the end of the race as at the begining. It`s a true street car too with carpets,comfy seats,cruise control,AC etc. so it sees a fair amount of hard street miles too. Mark SC&C
