Looking good. They remind me of the Buddy Club P1's

How come they are not double adjustable at the very least? You lose so much variability in the compression area when everything is adjusted with one knob. Everyone says they look "high end", but it seems like a ordinary monotube design.

In this case, I can't wait to see the results of from the shock dyno and the R&D on the circuit.

Maybe people said they look high end, cause of the great finish and top quality racing springs used?
A shock does NOT have to be independently double adjustable to be good. For example, when you adjust a KW V3 coilover, they advise you to use a 2:1 ratio when adjusting if i recall. our valving does a similar style ratio. Many high end damper kits that are much praised are single adjustable. Spoon and HKS being 2 examples.

another great key feature of the comp spec damper is the extremely light weight. I currently do not know of any lighter monotube damper for s2000 that isnt around 3k range.

We are working on 2 and 3 way dampers with Japan, but they are still in development currently. It will be a little while yet. Truth is that many people may not know how to tune a 2 or 3 way dameper setup properly. It does take some experience to do well.

Interested in pricing....

Most of the sets that have been mentioned, Megan, BC, are not monotube....right now I'm thinking about JDM spec Tein MONO FLEX (also 10/10) and they're about $1700..and they're not even aluminum.

Haven't seen a montube with a threaded lower mount for less than that.
