My dual zone shock sensor isn't being sensitive enough even when turned to its max, so I am thinking of putting more than 1 in my car, maybe 4 of them, one above each wheel. Is that a worthwhile idea or a crazy one? thanks,
Mark

Have you tried to change the location of the shock sensor?
I had many times problems with shock sensors adjusted to maximum , and every time it helped to change the spot.
I suggest also to strip it tight with a cable binder on a solid piece of metal under the dash, I bet it will help.

thanks a lot guys. I will try it. I have three dual zone sensors, but I will try the steering wheel next before going crazy. I did tie it to a metal piece under the dash, beside the glove box with those plastic ties as tightly as I could. The only problem with the steering wheel is it gets very difficult to turn the little sensor adjustment screws. I guess I'll have to twist my hands and elbows like pretzels to adjust it on the steering column but that seems to be the only good option left. Thanks a lot for all the help and suggestions.
