Tein SRC's compared

Do you thin it was possible your Evasive Specs were valved incorrectly? Were you the original owner? Most people seem to say that the Evasive specs are more compliant than the standard SRC so that is definitely interesting to hear. A friend of mine who has been using the standard SRCs for many years has tried out a similarly prepped car with the Evasive Spec and said he felt they were noticeably more compliant and more confidence inspiring.
Could be worth talking to Evasive to see if your dyno plots match theirs or are similar.

If it was a problem with them being valved incorrectly I don't suspect all 4 of them would have come up in such tight tolerances during the initial dynos. Guy actually commented that this was the most consistent performance he had seen out of any Tein shocks he had worked with.
I had appealed to Evasive once for some suggestions before I embarked on this project but they never released any dynos and just suggested I set them to 8/8 front and rear, which obviously from the dynos could not have accomplished what I wanted.

Do you thin it was possible your Evasive Specs were valved incorrectly? Were you the original owner? Most people seem to say that the Evasive specs are more compliant than the standard SRC so that is definitely interesting to hear that they were valved extremely stiff. A friend of mine who has been using the standard SRCs for many years has tried out a similarly prepped car with the Evasive Spec and said he felt they were noticeably more compliant and more confidence inspiring. But again I suppose each drivers feedback is swayed by everyone else's. Maybe I will take my Evasive Specs to PSI to have them dyno'd to see if they are valved similarly to yours.
Could be worth talking to Evasive to see if your dyno plots match theirs or are similar? It seems you were successful having Tein revalve them to a setup you were happy with so that is definitely a good thing.

Not true. Talk to a few people at t hill aka ivan and he will tell you he is having trouble setting up his suspension
I had the r2 and after countless track days of fiddling. I don't have them anymore

Good call. Thanks again for the post. If I get a chance to have mine dyno'd I will definitely share my results as well.

Yeah, lots of fast guys here in SoCal, it only makes me wonder how much faster they'd be with better setups.
I've always been hesitant about Tein, the R2s, and KWs.
I've been telling myself to save for AST, JRZ, Penskes, or Ohlins.
Or, I might just go the cheap route, get some Koni's and send them off to Guy to have them dynoed and re-valved for my intended use when the time comes.

Big thanks to anorexicpoodle for taking the time and effort to do this.
