They could sell the struts to more people if the mounts were adjustable, since some people, (me for instance) want it tall for the street, and short for the track. Or, for instance, tall for winter, and short for summer. A strut without adjustable mounts is less versatile and therefore, worth less money.

The bodies are threaded so everything is adjustable, what I was not sure about is the weight jacker that sits on the spring seat we haven't had time to play with that yet.

Doug, do you know if the mounts themselves are threaded, or do you lose travel when lowering them?

This is one of less than a handful of products I'm looking forward to. Thanks for working to bring a truly significant product for the 86 to market Doug. I wish more would follow your example.

We will have a booth at PRI in Indy to introduce our new velocity based shock controller and the current CAN based unit. Now the question is what do we have for the FR-S, right now nothing but now I have a company willing to build what we need without me having to be in the shock business. We will have Penske level shocks the price will be more but the quality and reactive control should be a great improvement. We have plans for testing and racing in IMSA pro cars to get some real testing done. The new company is DSCSport and will be at booth 2612 & 2614 so come by and give me a hard time, we will have a shock dyno there to play with. http://www.dscsport.com/
Thanks
