Fox QS3 to DSC adjustment setting

[CTGT2005]

Has anybody that has done a swap between QS3 and the DSC high/low speed adjusters measured the approximate cross between QS3 settings 1/2/3 and the H/L clicks? I'm trying to get my DSC shocks to feel like setting #2 as a starting point.

I've done a few myself and the low speed is what give you the qs3 feeling because that's all the qs3 is, a lo speed adjustment. I start at the lowest setting and tighten until it's where I like it.

Thanks to Hellflyer I now have one on my rear qs3, I’m roughly 215ish with gear and with my rear springs on 1 and clicker on 1 I found my 20’ to be to stiff in the bumps, after last year I wasn’t very happy with the 20 ltx gt suspension.

Hygear recommended I go with the medium valve and I’m very impressed so far, I ended up going for a ride before asking hellflyer for his recommendation on the setting so I just put both in the middle of the adjustments, found out quickly that it was still a bit on the stiff side, I’m now at 6 clicks out from soft on high speed and 5 clicks out from soft on low speed and wow what a difference, studder bumps are virtually gone now, very plush ride.

Where did you guys get the shock upgrades done? I am keeping an eye out for a place in Canada that is highly recommended.

shock tec in ontario has done good work for me in the past.

Hey fabio! Remember we also modified the hi-speed valve stack a bit!

When setting my hi/lo I use 30-40mph as cutoff point between the two. Usually if I end up with a slower group adjust low 2clicks clockwise and back off high speed 1. Couple rides messing around and finding sweet spot is SO worth it. Love my hi/lo adjusters!

Yup best thing you can do to the qs3 IMHO.

Yes that’s right, it has made a world of difference on my sled..
