What exactly are you looking to get from the shock dynos? I can get them done, but most shock dynos that are posted are mostly for show, and I'd rather provide useful information rather than marketing fluff.

Do you have a range of speeds and adjustments you'd like to see? What kind of conditions do your local tracks and roads subject the dampers to?

[B L U E S L A T E]

Been riding on these coilover for sometime now and thought it deserves a small bump. Having been playing with many different settings, I must say that this is single best investment I've made in my BRZ so far. They absorb the imperfections on the road so well in high speed cruise that it doesn't feel anything like you're riding on a set of coilover with high spring rates. The road feel is excellent and the dampers do excellent job keeping the car on the ground at all corners in all speeds. I am thoroughly impressed by these. Great job for CounterSpace Garage to bring these coilover to our attention, and I deeply appreciate their hard work to provide us end users with all the right information.

If you're in the market for a set of coilover, reside in the United States, and you want track duty on your BRZ/FR-S or even just a lot of spririted drives around the mountains across the country, these should definitely be one of your top choices if not #1, and CSG is THE PEOPLE that you should get these from. Excellent service, excellent price, and just excellent people all the way around. Thanks again, CSG.

Got these from CSG a couple weeks ago, doing alignment and corner balancing tomorrow and testing at Big Willow and CVR this weekend. I'm stoked

For those that do plan on keeping the suspension for a long time, we can arrange for overhaul and revalving services though Tein USA.

What type of time frame would we be looking at between servicing? Is this something that is typically done every year, 15,000 miles ect? I know it will depend on use but can you provide some guidelines for this type of service? Also what is the turnaround time for this?

It's difficult to say, as everyone's driving conditions vary. If you're trying to go rallycrossing with this suspension (totally inappropriate use btw), then you may need to recondition every event. If you're just street driving on great roads, you may need to recondition after 100k miles.

You'll know when you need reconditioning/rebuilding/revalving. The dampers won't be performing like they should.

Curious to know what type of pistons are in these shocks? Linear? Digressive? Regressive?

[CSG Mike]

The shim spec is best described Digressive. We're still working on refining the valving to our own spec.

Regressive shocks... Penskes.

So, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience tracking the SRCs on bumpier tracks like Sebring. Anyone?

Buttonwillow (before the repave) was considered one of the bumpiest tracks on the West Coast. How does it compare to Sebring? I can't honestly tell you because I, personally, have not had the chance to experience Sebring firsthand. I will tell you that the 2-way suspension has a better time on bumpier tracks than 1-way setups. It's also no secret that the fast BRZ/FRS on the West Coast are all running TEIN SRCs or JRZ RS / RS-Pros.

Were these times that you got with the src's on the csg spec or the standard src's if they were on the standard do you or do you plan on doing an update or review on the csg spec

Bump.

My SRC acquired mind of its own, and decided to lower the front left ride-height by itself, after couple days of track day. The suspension expert told me that the lower bracket nut basically rotates by itself when you give full steering lock, to the point the lower bracket nut touches the spring sheet nut...

Did anyone receive inputs / solution from Tein so far?
