Sry to bring this back from the dead, but anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks!

These look like an upgrade to their Mono-Sport suspension which I came within inches of buying before going with HKS Hipermax.

I've spoken to guys running the Mono-sports since buying mine and they all had great things to say about them. I have KW Clubsport 3-ways here to try next. Curious to see how these will compare to the HKS.

I'd consult with CSG. IIRC they have lot of experience with miscellaneous coilovers from tein lineup (of course, probably most with SRC & Flex A, but could be with monosports too), and able to objectively talk about pros & cons of monosport & comparison with alternatives.

Mono Racing is bridging the product gap between SRC and Mono Sport but with a 1-Way system. Distributors who don't have sufficient experience or track pace with the platform in various conditions and configurations will have some challenges optimizing the system. This goes the same for any suspension systems available for the platform.

Can you please expand on the capabilities and short comings of these coil overs vs the Mono Sport and SRC's?

It is a 1-way system with an application that could make or break your setup if the user and dealer don't understand what they're looking for.

Compared with the Mono sports, is the difference just the extra caster/camber adjustability and stiffer spring rates or are the internals of the damper and valving different?

Bringing this back from the dead, anyone buy them and have some feedback?

I'll bump this again as there isn't any other info I've found on the Mono Racing. Has anyone tried these? Feedback?

Not me mega necro-ing this. If anyone has used these and has thoughts on them I'd love to hear.
