I'm glad I found this thread. I originally had my heart set on T2's but may just run the T0's with the 350 spring rate. This should be sufficient for the 2-3 track days, and mountain runs I participate in yearly. This is also my daily driver and don't really need jaw chattering firmness. lol.

@Racecomp Engineering, are the T0's readily available?

At home on a Sunday, but I believe the answer is yes we have some in stock or on their way. Call or PM us tomorrow.

Am I the only one that has the helper springs fully compressed even when the car is up on jack stands?

Any update on when we can expect the Bilstein fixed perch option to be released? Or has that option been shelved?

That will depend on your ride height.

Checking with Myles but I think the standard Bilsteins will be out pretty soon, our own revalved version not too long after.

I've read somewhere that the V1/ST/T0 uses damper cartridges inside the threaded body whereas the V3 uses cartridge-less twin tube design? Is that true?

Is anyone using the T0 experiencing knocks or sounds from their coilovers? I ask because there seems to be a number of other forums where guys using the V1 have complaints about weird sounds apparently due to the cartridges moving inside?

Please enlighten me...?

I have about 2000 miles on mine so far with the 350 springs, and no noise at all.
