Looking fwd to seeing what they did with these shocks. If there is any way i could get rid of my remote reservoirs id gladly do it as they are such a pain. Im a set it and forget it type and hope these finally have enough range to be right where id need

Yeah same for me. I make general adjustments for the particular type of driving I am doing, normal, mountains, or track, and from there it is just small fine tuning. I think once we are done testing we will be able to provide the plots to those who are interested. These were valved through Ohlins USA directly with Anish working with them on the particulars of the valving, so once it is all said and done I think Anish will be able to provide all the details of usable spring rate range and all that. Should be a great setup.

Very cool and I very much agree. The hard part with suspension tuning is that it takes time and it's hard (for me) to quantify exactly how much a certain change helps (or hurts), and how/if setting A is really "better" (and what's better) than setting B (for example changing a shock setting one or two clicks). It's a lot of fun and great when you can tweak things to exactly how you like them.

Good choice in getting them revalved. I did the same and I have them set at 14 clicks from full stiff. It's great for casual street driving, but I have yet to adjust for more aggressive driving. Definitely worth the money to have this done when brand new so you can save a couple hundred bucks

So, bought a second set of DFVs that you had re-valved, in addition to the OTS ones currently on your car? Baller. lol
Sell both sets and get TTX. haha

As much as I would love a TTX setup, the set and forgetness of the DFV and the way they perform over curbs and bumps is hard to beat. If/when I sell my current setup it will probably go towards some TTX goodness.

If he did get a second set, he did mention plans for a second S2000 so I wouldn't be surprised if he would hold it for that car. I wish I did this from the begining myself. Can't wait for updates on the new setup!

I think we have a winner on our hands with these. Hoping to have some time next week to get these and the front upper arms on the car.

Yeah that is also sort of the plan here, haha. The more and more parts I collect the more likely I am to get a second S2000. I will probably hold out until I can find a unicorn Imola Orange AP2.
