Those Kyosho shocks should work a lot better than the Z-Car shocks, no doubt.

I haven't completely understood the purpose of the valve either. But from what I have concluded they should increase dampening slightly on the upstroke (compression) because they make the flow of oil more turbulent. Or something like that.
