Hi Rich. I have been VERY happy with this setup. It makes the car much smoother and easier to drive on track with so much less body roll and brake dive. With the adjustable dampers, street driving is really not much different than stock if you soften them up. I would definitely recommend them, not to mention the "intangibles" that go along with buying FRPP parts

Next track event is Memorial Day weekend so that will be the real test.

Glad to hear it, sounds like this will be the set up for me.

And that is an awesome story, it's like the badass Detroit version of the line from the fast and the furious about overnighting parts from Japan.

Long term update:

I was reading up on them last nite, discovered they are monotube and made by Multimatic
