Tested, Pair-Matched

The Von Pair-Matched Advantage -

Regardless of brand, identically configured shocks can generate widely varying damping forces.    All shocks are built with manufacturing tolerances that make damping forces deviate from the design target. 

Despite using good designs and precision components, the best commercial shock manufactures accept finished product tolerances that are typically +/-15%.   That means that by luck of the draw two new, "identical", tested-good shocks picked from the shelf could vary in damping forces by up to 30%.  Cheap shocks can be much worse!

That might be okay for mini-vans, but not our high-performance street and racecars.

Imagine the quirky, uneven handling caused by left and right shocks that vary by 30%.   This can cause an uneasy feeling of not being planted, a hard to quantify sensation that the car just isn't "right" despite seemingly having all the best parts and setup.   The car doesn't inspire driver confidence, and it doesn't go fast.

Worse yet is the difficulty of diagnosing these types of problems.   Without access to a computer shock dyno, the suspension tuner is left groping in the dark. 

Any serious suspension tuner absolutely must have a computer shock dyno plot for all shocks.    This simply cannot be over-emphasized.    It doesn't matter if your shocks are brand new, or freshly custom valved, or come from the most reputable manufacturer, or the best-known shop - you MUST have a computer shock dyno plots for your actual shocks (not a sample from a similarly configured shock).   Without the dyno plot, you simply have no idea of what your shocks are doing, what irregularities they may contain or conceal.  

Testing - Every single Von shock is tested on our computer shock dyno.   The dyno plot is delivered along with the shock.   We keep the dyno plot in our database to support you going forward.  

This dyno plot is used as a baseline of comparison should we ever test your shocks to analyze wear, damage, or help you diagnose handling quirks.   The dyno plot also let's us Pair-Match your shocks.

Pair-Matched - Von shocks are built in batches, and every single shock is tested on our computer shock dyno.  Using the batch's dyno plots, we hand select pairs that have similar performance curves.  The shocks are then delivered as matched pairs.

Pair-matching allows Von shocks to deliver performance consistency that is unrivaled.  You are assured that your shocks are tested-good and will function as a pair to deliver matching damping performance.
