Im currently looking at the JRZ double adjustables and wondering if anyone has used this setup on their s2k, and how well does this work? Is there anything better to get, or what else would you recomend?

also jsut to see if im getting a decent price on them, what do you guys think they are worth?

For doubles I would also look at their club line. They are identical except for the shaft material. Saves several $k.

JRZ/MOTON/Penske/Ohlins are all the top echelon of shocks.

I have the singles, which im very happy with, my right rear is starting to leak so its time for a rebuild, i got about 15k miles 90% public roads. the doubles are better than the singles and the triples are better than the doubles IF YOU HAVE THE TIME TO FINE TUNE THEM ON A TRACK, i was debating on getting the doubles but after talking to several suspension experts they all reccomended the singles for my use (only 3 or 4 track days a year). Im glad i just got the singles, very easy to tune on the street, just one knob to adjust, and the car really responds to the changes.

I've not seen their 2-ways but their 3-ways are They seem to require a lot of maintenance?? Leaking and needing rebuilding every year?? My Ohlins haven't required any maintenance and haven't leaked in the 2 years I've had them and you JRZ guys are making me paranoid that I'm missing something.

I've had mine rebuilt 2x in the ~3.5 years I've had them. Only did it cuz it was free and both times they looked pristine inside. Never had any leaking either.

news2kroller, what spring rates are you using with the singles?

My s2k is typically a daily driver (when I dont feel like driving my Ford Ranger FX4.. which is usually all the time), and will see 10-15 track days each summer (including time trials). What spring rates would you guys recomend for the double adjustables?

what spring rates are you guys using?

One of my 3-ways leaked only due to a loose nut at the quick-disconnect. (In retrospect the quick-disconnects might cause more trouble than they save.) Internally they were pristine after ~2K track and 8K street miles.
