Very cool that a shorter and higher ride height is actually possible compared to the standard mount. The design of the standard lower mount definitely leaves a lot of room for adjustment on the table with how much space there is between the actual mounting point (bolt holes) and the end of the threaded area. So this mount allows the actual damper body to get much closer to the mounting point itself.

Definitely post up once you have a sample of the anodized version!
On both designs of mounts only the top 1" is threaded. Our 434mm measurement still has full thread engagement.

I feel like the cheapest alternative and probably adequate space for adjustment would have been to just make a new lower fork (only the removable fork part). There is a good 10-15mm worth of height that could have bene removed from that piece. I can't see people needing to go much lower than what that would allow. Obviously you already have your solution but just my 0.02 cents.

We actually looked into that as well but it wasn't possible to save as much height as you might think.

Back from anodizing. Unfortunately these moved faster than anticipated and we are sold out, and have another 4 pre-orders stacked up for the next small production run which we'll be trying to finish to have ready to ship before the end of the year. Subsequent orders will be added to the list for production run #2

We are in this to make the cars we drive every day even better, that fact that we get to help the community in the process is a great perk. We have some game changing s2000 products in the pipeline. Really excited to release them in the coming weeks.

Looks good! A little odd to have a rotary logo on an S2000 part though. :P
