I understand how you get there, but a number of people have made the
assertion that such setups *are necessary to win in the Stock classes.*
This appears to have some basis in D Stock -- for now. Anywhere else?

Wait a second...my Truechoice catalog indicates shock revalves are $100-$150
per shock. Figure another $150 per corner for the original shock body.
That's about $1200 for a set -- which is what Mark Andy quotes as a price
for "the Daddio setup," so it makes sense. So $2400 must be a *really*
fancy setup -- I hope this guy is winning....
And (I'm *really* curious) what's the interval between shock rebuilds?
After all, an off-the-shelf shock is good for a few years at least.
