There was a thread earlier on where he talked a bit about his setup, I doubted their viability but I was certainly proven wrong.

Edit: I'm a firm believer that what matters most is not what brand the shock is but how it performs, results are there. Would I want to drive on them daily, or will they ever even be for sale, I have no idea, but he put up some very quick times against cars I know are nationally competitive.

Now that is very, very interesting. He owns propartsusa.com? Was he on the Megan Racing Track Series coilover? I see them on the website for $900 which is a steal but Idk how good the stock valving is. Who did the custom valving? I've always assumed that coilovers like these had low quality dampers with inconsistent valving and non-linear adjustments. The Track series is at 10K/10K front and rear. Makes me think the struts and shocks are pretty beefy to handle those rates and can apparently handle a +/- 2K change is spring. Wonder how they ride on the steeet though... Can't find any reviews on them for our platform.

In the end a deal came up on a set KW Clubsport 2 ways... for less than I would pay for either kw v3's or T2's..

If you're serious I think the only way you'll get answers is calling proparts. I'd presume at minimum you'd want the custom valving which would likely put these on par with other $1.5k-$2k systems.

Your sentiments echo my own, but most autoxers don't seem to go posting setup guides online and play it low key (otherwise we'd have more resources than far north and scattered forum threads). Doubly so when business gets involved.
