Thanks, and you are 100% correct, Chris. Great explanation.
We don't believe so much in a "one size fits all" coilover package, or a complete suspension package and set up for that matter.

Depending on each individuals needs, wants, feel, etc. We like to set the valving, or split valving in this case (with the ER's) for what would be in the optimal range of valving for both high speed and low speed valving on both the compression as well as the rebound side.

It all comes down to personal preference, supporting mods, wheels and tires used, what percentage of street/ track driving they do, how harsh or plush they want the ride, the intended use of the car, etc.

For example. In this particular case with Kirksters car... We took into consideration that his car is a roadster, that he didn't want to lower his car very much at all under factory height, that the car is mainly a street driven car that will see its fair share of track use, also that the car will see more autocross than longer tracks, etc......
