looks like they just came out with their suspension for our cars, so you won't find anything about that.
They aren't very big on any actual details in anything they do. They seem to generalize and say all the right things, but not give any concrete data on anything. I do like what they say. First ig post was April 5, 2018. First facebook post was September 29, 2018. So a newer company that does say all the right things. https://annexsuspension.com/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BhNHNJHHJ_W/ https://www.facebook.com/annexsuspension/ We will see if their product backs up their words. |

Looks like another BC based monotube like fortune Auto, feal, Meister, Megan, Godspeed, etc etc
Could be pretty ok for the price. Hopefully the extra money goes into the damper and not into slightly nicer looking hardware. |

Definitely want to hear/see more about their valving. Looks like they do offer digressive for the S2000.

I cannot go into detail so I really hope the ones who get the first round of suspension soon can come give first hand feedback.
I have done ride alongs and was super impressed with how it handled. I have driven on Feal, AST, Flex Z, and Fortune Auto while riding in cars with Flex A and SRC. If I had the money I would buy Annex. Stupid wedding is getting in the way though, for now lol. |

Interesting. Looks like they’re possibly using the new 44mm digressive piston from BC, by the silver body in place of the standard black/46mm on the BR model. Could be promising.

Virtually all dampers on the market are "digressive".

I also can't imagine that all these small-looking companies have the backing to design and to manufacture their own parts. I've been tempted to ask them before buying: show me some pictures of your manufacturing shop floor. I don't have a problem with somebody, like CSG, speccing their own version from an OEM, as long as they just own up to it. |

If I was a vendor I'd be very weary of someone like CSG_Mike making those assumptions, like it or not his opinion carry a lot of weight with a lot of the track/performance oriented guys here.
On the other hand if his assumptions are correct well then hats off to his keen eye and we all appreciate him calling a spade a spade. |
