A shock absorber apparatus includes a response adjustment mechanism connected in fluid transmission relation between a first cylinder and a second cylinder that is configured to provide three or more adjustments for tuning the response of the shock absorber system. The shock absorber may also include a damping valve assembly which may include a step washer positioned concentrically around a piston rod, and in stacking relation, and may be further positioned proximate to a piston. The damping valve assembly may also include a pressure plate positioned concentrically around the step washer in sliding relation, and a plate spring positioned concentrically around the rod so that the plate spring is borne by the step washer and a portion of the plate spring is held in tension by the pressure plate.
