Ah, okay. I didn't see the adjustment dial on the rear shock. I assume it must be at the top? The C-One rear shock has the dial towards the bottom of the unit, so that's what I was looking for :P

you should see what some cars do in stock series autox (in which they can only change: dampers, tires, and front sway bar); dampers are the single most important piece of suspension on a vehicle.

When i get the shocks installed, they are going to be evaluated by a professional race driver with alot of experience. He is very familiar with koni's and suspension tuning, and is the owner of Seat-Time.com as well. We may also get a Rolex Sports Car drivers input as well, his name is Leh Keen. I will have a full review and write up for you guys that are interested.

also, the tokico rep i have been in contact with is trying to get ground control on board with us, so then we have literally unlimited spring options.

I am really excited about these shocks, they are going to be pretty sweet :D

DF210's, i thought about switching to teins but i didnt get a chance.

the car was great, it handled so good. i had a few guys drive it and they all loved it. the guy who was reviewing the shocks, JonK, has been racing for a long time and he said its in his top 3 fun cars to drive list. i was blown away by the reception the car got, especially from guys in Z06 corvettes, and all kinds of high horsepower cars, they all love it. anyways, i cant wait for the review from Jon.

i dunno how much they will be, I will call and ask when they will be available. I mentioned microimageonline.com and Garm to him already, so he knows to make that account a priority.

Good to hear you are back on track (pun intended) I was trying to get there but we had an Intra-Op CT scheduled for that day , 2 Nuero Surgeons insisted that I be there during the proceedure . Yes I said INTRA-OP CT . Yes that means a CT scan ( 2 actually , pre and post , both with contrast) DURING the surgery . A Trans Sphenoidal Tumor to be exact .

Feels good to be needed .

Should be interesting to read what JonK has to say , for sure .
