Yeah, a lot of jittering, until I turn up the rebound enough that it starts to feel a bit harsh or just out of sync with the compression.

Maybe because the 2W was second hand. I suspect part of it was also fatigue from me asking questions about getting the setup just right.
Interesting. I will have 3 or 4 way shocks someday, but not yet.

A fun, but functionally questionable mod. I love induction noise, but know the stock intake setup is quite good. So I left the box but replaced the snorkel. Now I get induction resonance, which I didn’t with just resonators deleted.

I really like this mod, even if it gets me no power. It’s a high quality 3D print using what looks like power laser process. Excellent density and smoothness. I really like the bell opening as well. Quality piece from Outbound Motorsports. Name:  IMG_4273.jpg

I forgot to talk about it earlier in the thread, so this is out of order. Mid last year, I switched to an OS Giken LSD from CSG. Significant low speed improvement in terms of traction, but what really surprised me was when I moved to the MCS 3W coilovers. It really feels like those unlocked the full potential of the OS Giken as well. I have far more confidence to stand on the throttle earlier. Not a single unintended oversteer event at the first event this year, where I would have maybe 1-2 of those a day on the old setup.
