As far as pricing, the TTX set for the EVO X is around 12500$, so....
That's more than I paid for my S2K.

But which TTX? TTX40s would be much more expensive.

I was looking at these nice piece yesterday. Seems to be a great piece of engineering available in 2/3/4 ways and with ohlins background, you know what you buy.

Yup those are probably inverted struts too. Thats why they are so expensive - for the 3 series the fronts are like $3600 a corner.

For basic eyelet to eyelet shocks the TTX36 are $1000 a corner. With custom mounting I bet the price pushes closer to $1500 a corner.

Hot damn. Just set the damper to fast and leave it.

These come set to fast right out of the box and they can be set to faster if you feel the need

Sweet, even better. I think fast is fast enough for me. I don't think I can handle faster.

Price?
I was quoted "around $4600" when I looked into them. Didn't make sense to me to pursue since Penskes are already well understood and proven for my application (Stock class autocrossing) and are available for less.

They're generally held to be in the same caliber, but I've never seen dyno charts or heard a direct comparison to back this up or refute it. I doubt many people on this forum (myself included) could tell the difference between similarly valved shocks from top-shelf vendors (Penske, JRZ, Moton, Ohlins?).

Valving these is cake especially since you can download a software based dyno for them from Ohlins.
Just to clarify, you can download a program which allows you to predict what the damping curves will look like with different valving. A handy tool for sure, but not the same thing as a real dyno (which helps you validate your specific shocks, detect damage, examine hysteresis, etc.).

PSI should have these in a couple months as a production unit but can be ordered now if you wish. They're right around $4500 for the dampers themselves with the machined clevises for our car, add springs and top hats and you're good to go.
I'll try and get more info about these today.

Nice! I was hoping they would upgrade their shock line for S2K. I think I have one of the only pair of Ohlins around. They are single adjustable, but I love them.

Here is a pic of my set with the stock coils for BS.

Right, they are TTX46.

So princing should be around 4500$ without the springs and top hats?

Sounds good to me!!
