We've since introduced a foam sealing machine that isolates the shocks from each other perfectly, you can now drop them out of an airplane and they'll be fine.

We're glad to hear you are enjoying the wide range of adjustment, this was one of the big things we strived for with these coilovers! Around 2 years of engineering and development have gone into these coilovers and we are thrilled that you love them as much as we do! While we feel our Ohlins Long Stroke kits are a step up from the FPX, bang for buck - in the sub $2K price range - we believe these will be the reference set that other shocks are compared against. Not to toot our own horns, but the team here did an amazing job on the FPX S2K and ND Miata Shocks, and we are beyond proud of what we've been able to introduce to the market, especially with a long stroke shock at this price point!
I’m still debating between all these coilovers kits. My s2000 is a street car due to my area having no tracks -.- only a single drag strip. From what I’ve gathered it’s the FPX long stroke < FPSport Öhlins < FPSpec Öhlins long stroke. Is this about right?

I was interested in comparing yours to others. What exactly is "long" and does anyone match your length? That sounds like a personal question....

It wasn't packaging, the person who assembled my product dropped the spring onto the shock locking ring, there was a colored dent on it. They also left the shock nut loose. Not a critical issue and doesn't take away from the product itself. Communicating with me about both topics before I began my install would have eliminated my complaint.
