I think the single adjustment that Ohlins has patented is different than what we're seeing here (on what they call the C57 and C57i), the key being that Ohlins intentionally designed theirs to adjust both compression and rebound via one adjustment while this company is simply using a better-sounding way to describe what is essentially cross talk, which is generally unfavorable in shock tuning. It is clear that rebound, as is typical, is the damping that is targeted for adjustment.

Also, some oddly worded selling points. Not that anyone should base their purchase on the semantics of a product description, but clear and accurate terminology should be used when describing technical details that are core to the product's intended function.
"Inverted Piston" Did they mean inverted shock?
"McPhearson" Or, MacPherson. Close enough right?
"2.5" linear rate springs" I assume the measurement refers to the inner diameter but why is that relevant?
"Vehicle specific rates" ... "Customizable spring rates" So my 996 with 1800lbs sitting over the rear mac strut suspension is going to use a damper with the same curve (and design?) as the one that goes on my 91 BMW M3? Or my double wishbone Evo 9 rear?

Looks like they are following the FA formula I wouldn't buy them tbh.

In for the review though.

I have received my coilovers. They are gorgeous! Awesome customer service and fast shipping. I will post install pics soon. I don't know when I will have to opportunity to test them to their full potential... I got distracted and started doing other things to the car, isn't that how it always goes?

I literally just bought his coils yesterday. Todd is a great guy, really works with you. I asked him for custom rates and pillowballs F/R. I was very hesitant at first because this is DFV territory but I pulled the trigger with ST50s. will be giving a review as soon I as get time with them.
