How about driving + an overlay using racerender or something like that?

I'd also love to know 0-150 on the Y axis of the current translates to the different shock dynos you posted.

Still working on the package not the marketing, it will all come in time. We had a test day at VIR but canceled it because on the IMSA crash at Baltimore, the plan was a video and datalog.

Complete bolt on assemble without springs or shock tops with wiring harness, controller, g sensor and control switch for around $3200. The choice is the spring mounts and ride height drops from stock. We will have base programs installed and over time people should be able to swap them around like ecu programs. I need some more track time and testing before I'm ready to start selling kits but hope around Nov/Dec to release the first prototypes at a discount in return for testing and setup data.
Thanks

"Complete" and "without" are mutually exclusive.

Unless complete defines the shock package and not the spring which is exclusive to the shock, sorry HS dropout with over 40 years of real world experience.

Isn't that implied though?

Not sure how a package can be complete nolt-on without springs or tops, but grammar discussion doesn't really belong in this thread.

Not yet, I need to get some more track data first. You can PM me your info and testing capabilities to add to my list.
