Haven't gotten a chance to try them yet but damn am I excited!

Happy to answer any and all questions except for: "How much did they cost you?"

Nice! Did you stay divorced ion the rear or go coilover? What spring rates did you select? Congrats.

DearLordThat'sAwesome!!!!!

Not trying to compare apples and oranges, but Is the "3rd Way" adjustability sort of like what Ohlins implemented with the DFV technology? Separating the damping for low and high speed compression....adjustable with valving, not on-the-fly adjustability like these. Maybe that's more of a cheat on 2-way, not 3-way, idk.

Other than that, I'm done. Speechless.

Well Done Sir!

Suspension porn. Nice.

How do you adjust the rears with the interior back in?

I saw a pic where someone had cut a hole in the interior trim to allow the adjustment knob to peek.

That's clean. Where did you get that trim piece for the hole?

It’s actually a piece made for the top of a desk for cables to go through. Got them on Amazon.

Awesome idea!

Can you drop the amazon link? How did you cut the trim piece?

With the coilovers installed, I found a screw that fit the top of the adjuster without the knob setup on, popped the trim back into place and smacked the trim with a rubber mallet causing the screw to make a dimple in the trim so it would be centered correctly. (This took a while to find the right setup that would stay in place and be short enough to allow the trim to go back on, but tall enough to make a dimple with a light smack of the hammer) then I used a hole saw to cut the hole. It was so perfect that the ring snapped into place perfectly secure.

Lining up the hole to get the post centered must have been a little tedious. Looks fantastic! (you detailed this while I was organizing this post)

How deep is the surface of the trim cover to the surface of the strut tower?

I got extended/remote adjusters from Sakebomb, but they're not going to ship until I give them a length. Pictured running them on the sides or back of the trim/cover, not coming out the top. From your pic it looks like the strut tower isn't too far away from the trim piece. May not need remote adjusters...or remote may not even fit underneath (cable turn coming out the top may be too tight).

I had to trim my extended cable adjustable to make it work. Basically they needed to be extended to stick out, but the full extensions would have stuck way out and touched the glass. I will try to get a measurement for you.

Hopefully this helps. Measured from the top of the shocks top hat. (Not the body of the car) measured in In and metric
