Amazing! I might be stopping by the race at some point, if it's looking like that's the case I'll shoot you a PM to see if I can get in touch to say hi (if he's not too busy).

Racecomp, figure it out. Those KW3 rates are way too low for HPDE/AutoX people on wide sticky tires!

What advantage does this product have over buying the same pieces individually.

Are you suggesting that Racecomp should fix the issue?

OkieSnuffBox: Different kits are made for different purposes/customers. I haven't seen any rules set in stone that each and every aftermarket coilover kit should be designed/made/optimized/sold for track racing. Especially if daily driving crowd may outnumber racers by a lot.

If I weren't getting Ohlins, I would most definitely have gotten these because.. @Raceseng.

Agreed. Wish Ohlins came without plates, as I'd like to get them with the Raceseng plates instead.

This package is the same as buying them individually. We simply wanted to offer our potential top mount customers an integrated solution.

The plates have been great for us and our clients. No reported failures on our end and you already know how many got sold through us.

Hope we can work on some projects for you in the future.

Most shops are still advertising the wrong spring rates and that bothers me since it misleads customers, but you just need to look at the springs...

How can you tell that the rates are 230/285 instead of 343/400 in the picture?

I could see the writing on the springs on the pics in their website.
