Does anyone have experience of these?

Its funny you should mention this company as I had never heard of them until a week or two ago when we discussed them on the 964 board. We were more sceptical though I think, my suggestion was to use a kit from a proven supplier for 911´s......i.e. let someone else take the risk

To summarize:
Pro's: Price, more adjustability (bump and rebound), stainless steel body (corosion resistance)
Con's: Unknown performance and durability, stainless steel body (retains heat), long repair times
Sound right?

For me it translates as too soft front and very stiff rear in relation to front and rear lbs difference. By comparison the factory spring rates really have about 100 lbs difference bewteen front and rear.
