Wow... work of art OK. So I am blasting along the course confident that I have skillion dollar dampers and struts when a radical 914 with the hood flapping up and down blows by me like the Space Shuttle.
Just kidding Robert. You are certainly producing some great products but they are wasted on my level.

Robert,
Great looking parts as always.
Have you ever had any testing done on those Porsche adjustable springs? I have some doubt that they work as advertised. It seems that they are not at all consistent from one spring to another.
I think they get four different adjustable springs by varying the wire diameter very slightly. This means they don't all engage into the perch in exactly the same way. Maybe splitting hairs.
Also, most people is this country do not run springs with rates as high as the adjustable springs offer. I take it that you feel springs this stiff are useful?

As a related question here, what are the thoughts on running a straight spring rate say 800lbs vs a setup that has a base spring rate say 800lbs and a tender spring say 150lbs? I assume there might be different answers if running double adjustable vs triple or 4x adjustable dampers.

Are there any longevity concerns with the suspension shaking the heck out of the attached reservoirs?
