Hi Jools
Please don't hold me to this as I was hoping they'd be ready before xmas, but I would expect about 2 - 3 months after final development and durability testing completed.

There are two options for the kit...
Single adjustable which adjust bump and rebound at the same time...
and 3 way adjustable (pictured) which adjust slow bump, fast bump and rebound individually

Simon if you need a set testing in Germany on our harsh German roads or some very high speed testing done on fast roads and sweeping bends then ship me a set over and I will test em for you free of charge

Hi All
Apologies I missed these questions. Thanks for the nice comments
Adjusters mount inside the engine compartment at the front, and (currently we expect) inside the boot for the rears.
All models will be covered
LOL re Audi - Just in-case people don't know.. A8 is the group and class of wrc cars
Cheers
Simon

I'm after a suspension upgrade for my '05 JDM STI - but that's an awful lot of cash to fork out for a comfy ride. Is there a moderators' discount?

LOL @ Andy
OK, you talked me into it, you can have a quid off
It's a lot of money when you compare it to the less expensive kit available, the same way as a scooby is more expensive compared to a shopping car.
If you compare them to similar kit, then they are more comparible to a £5K a corner wrc set-up.
You get what you pay for sir

Nice price,ouch. so long as they dont need as much maintenance as other remote adjustable shocks, my mate wont take his rally car out in the wet (Unless on a rally) otherwise he needs to strip and clean the shocks after they have got wet.

Hi Zippy
They've been designed with road car application in mind, so the maintenence requirement is nothing like the current competition kit. Having said that, if you did rally these, they would indeed need more maintenence.

The Type 25 I saw had the adjusters on the shelf behind the rear seat back... another option?
And I thought sammyh had a Type 25, so he should know all about adjustable suspension

LOL @ Bob
Wonder Wagon
The demand for the kit has already been far more than we originally expected. But we don't expect to be selling millions of kits a year. The product is right at the top of the road car market in terms of quality and performance, so you would expect to pay more for it. But for what it actually is, the price is incredibly reasonable, and actually a lot better than originally anticipated.
It will only appeal to those who want the ultimate in handling and ride quality though, not those who just want a sporty feel to their car.

So do you know how many miles you could do before
you need to rebuild/do maintenence on them??
or do you need to do more testing on them
