Ohhh, how I wish you were here

I have a good feeling that mechanical grip will be good but I need a bit of time to soak everything in. I'll take some pics and upload them shortly.

I typed this out the other day and it still stands true as well as a few other things.

They're on the car but I have yet to really do anything to take advantage of them.
I did play with them a bit off the car and was surprised how smooth they were, probably due to that Ohlins 25 buck a quart oil. Initial compression is also very smooth and the range of adjustment is wide. I'm running 800f 700r at the moment and will eventually play around with springs.
They definitely have the low speed damping I'm looking for as well as the high speed damping. The easiest explanation is the TTX has the high speed damping of the SRC's and the low speed damping of the KWV3's combined and refined in one damper.

I'll post more info after I get some seat time and get them dialed in.

Interesting you went with black center caps, looks good... I found out that after the first auto-x the plastic caps deforms and I was missing a cap. The other 3 found their way to the garbage can.

I like them better with, than without, I'd like to get different ones but that would require me to look and they're just not worth it.
