I'm at 900/700 and A6s and just starting to turn up the shocks. For auto-x (lower speed maneuvering), these things were simply too aggressive. My next valving will be much different. The extra grip of the A6s and the higher spring rates to keep movement within reason seem to have brought these to life. I'm sure they act much different at road course speeds.

They're great at the track and on the street, I'll be auto x'ing this weekend to kill off my RS3's and have some sideways fun

I've reduced my roll rates and I'm super happy with the chassis control on the street and at the track with these even with the lower rates.

How much rebound were you running with the old springs?

I drove my racecar on 580 (a concrete fwy with *very* pronounced seams btw the slabs) with 800/700 spring rates and the ride was less annoying that in my stock S2000 daily driver that has the CR suspension on it.

I had the Ohlins compression and rebound both softened to 20 or so clicks from full stiff.

My car handled best at Nationals last year with the shocks on full soft, both compression amd rebound (2 clicks off so they weren't maxed).

I'm baffled lol
There's no way I can drive my car on the track like that.

Apparently he got a special valving, although we were never able to confirm that...I'm guessing it was much stiffer than you got. Being unable to get clear answers on what my valving would look like and why Marc needed to run so soft were major reasons I ultimately just went with Penske.

Pretty sure it just had the middle setting, and also there was some question (at least for me) of whether it was the correct one.
