haha well, i drove canyons in my 7, definately not going to in the S, it wasnt built to do it, and quite frankly it deserves better treatment. as for eric building the best stuff, i have to agree from what i read, i just wanted to get a final opinion from people who have experience before i take the dive into some real expensive shocks, and not come to find out later that the shocks i bought were worse in some inherent way or that i wasted my money and coulda bought better shocks for less, etc.

I'm sponsored by JRZ/Elda so I should tell you that there is nothing better

But Eric is a guru, and I'm not about to say a set of penskes he specs are gonna be bad. But you're gonna spend a lot less for JRZs and will get something that is just about as good.

o and if i buy the JRZs where do i get the rear canister filled? also i really like that with the JRZs you dont have to reach over the wheel to adjust the rebound on the shocks, i hated that on my friends car, killed the whole adjust where you are thing, youd need to carry a tool kit with wrenches and allen wrenches to adjust the damn things! haha

Can't argue with Eric. He knows what he's doing, and he's done at least a couple of S2000's with custom Penskes, but you pay for his expertise (and I'm sure it's worth every penny if you can afford it). I and a few others run the JRZ's, and we all think they are great shocks for the price. No doubt Motons are as good too, and I hear that Moton has or will have a 4-way adjustable, so I f you like adjustability ...

o and btw eric doesnt charge much more than wael, and the price includes alignment, installation and corner weighting, so they both end up costing about the same...
