LOL totally missed your call out of that. Solid.

I missed that callout myself.
Mind you, I didn't recommend the MeisterR ZetaCRD on this one.

If I see something that I have that will suit the needs of customers, I will say it.
If I do not have it, then I will not recommend it.
In this case, the MeisterR GT1 will suit the customers needs better.

If a customer wanted a 2-way suspension, then it isn't something I have.
3-way adjustable for race use? Yes, it is almost ready.... but not a 2-way.

Ride-along tutorial session with Suberman/UberSuber/GForce.

All expenses paid trip to Oakland to come drive my super bouncy yet also at the same time bone jarringly stiff AST 5100s.

I honestly forgot you had another option for the 86, if I had remembered I wouldn't have specified one over the other.

If I wanted to sit shotgun on a ride along an onramp at 25 mph over the posted speed limit while an old man bitches about the car being too loose I'll have my dad drive my car.

Although to be fair to my old man... my car is too loose right now.

I'll take you up on that if we're ever nearby each other, what spring rates do you have? Based on your description mine might be a cushy cloud in comparison, but I'm mildly uncomfortable on springs just shy of 8k.

It probably wouldn't be very interesting as I close my eyes and find my happy place... at least I think suber's car would likely be rather nice riding.


Edit: honestly 80% of the reason I posted in this thread was to call you two out, I wouldn't have bothered otherwise.

6k/7k.

I'm starting to drive Mines Rd every week/every other week on early Sat/Sun mornings, you should come out and join sometime.

Saw that a few days ago, might just do that one of these weekends in July.

@DIE1000DEATHS tell me a little more about your car and needs so I can give you better input:

1. What's your target ride height?

2. What wheel and tire do you run?

3. Why do you believe you need the level of adjustment coilovers offer?

Thanks for the questions! Obviously I love MOAR LOW based on the fact I bought BC's... :/ So target ride height is fairly low, but I know every mm cost me ride quality.

I have 19" Rotiform SLA's. I know they're heavy and effect unsprung weight, but again, I like form. I'm not a track junkie. Tires are Yoko Advan Neovo A08 if I recall.

I want the adjustment to be able to dial in the best compromise for what I want, which is a good amount of low/looks, but on a quality damper. I know it's tough, but I figured our platform has been out for a while and the options are wide and far.

Thanks again
