I forget - what's the target market for these? Mostly street with a little track time or mostly track oriented?
btw it doesn't look like you could possibly design in much more travel than that! <3 |

Subscribed. I'm very interested in these. On Facebook it was mentioned that they'd cost about the same as the KW V3s.

They look great too, i know function > form but still am surprised at why so many coilovers use such strange colors i guess it's a marketing thing.

So how do these compare to the JRZ coil overs you guys were offering?

Monotube versus twintube. The JRZ is basically a race shock for the street and allows you to adjust nitrogen levels internally. The T2 is more of a Clubsport level shock for track day, time attack and autocrossing yet has a strong warranty and can take some serious abuse at the same time. 2 VERY different approaches to damping. The T2's offer a lifetime warranty and are stainless steel and wont rust. The T2's are a 2 way shock while the RS-1 is a single adjustable. Yet one could run a LOW spring rate and yet raise the gas pressure in the RS-1 and have massive amounts of "platform" for cornering yet SERIOUS comfort for wives/back issues/new borns/nasty NYC-Detroit like roads. So the bottom line is each of these serves a particular end user. I love both. Both are major confidence inspiring dampers that wont disappoint. Myles |
