Possibly a stupid question, but...
what happens when the suspension is fully relaxed, ie, the front end is jacked up by the frame? The total travel is greater than the spring length, so the spring loses contact with the top perch? What ensures that the spring goes back into the little recess on the top perch when you let it down? This doesn't seem good...

oh that's his stie? (I see he's changed his email adress, lol)
So everything is $375 now? Oh well, that's still pretty cheap.
to those who have them-
How are they working after you put some miles on them? Are they truly kick-*** for auto-x?

Yup, no longer available, I've had pretty good success with them, my car with a experienced driver was only 2 seconds behind TTOD at the last event we went to, which is pretty good for a total of 105 hp. (and the experienced driver feels he had another second left in it). And my car still has a long way to go before it is totally setup.

I use mine in my DD, about 1000 miles a week with Koni reds and 7" Eibach springs, they handle brilliantly, car rides pretty low and dont have a bottoming issue even over railroad tracks at 60 mph, front is simply fantastic, now for the rear end....lol
Definately firm but not brutally so, just dont go too hard in the rear end and the ride is compliant even comfortable, handling though is so much fun.
