Thanks for the info JetBlack. Do you happen to know whether the Koni FSD shocks might also be usable in the Dinan setup? The FSD's look like a pretty good shock based on a few reports, riding better than the Sport but giving up little to nothing in performance. Any idea?
cheers
Actually The Dinan Koni's are custom valved to their specs. Before Dinan comes out with the suspension that get take the Koni sports and tune it on their shock dyno then when they find what they are looking for thats how you get finished product. So to say wheather the FSD would be better then the Dinan koni's I have no idea! I am going to wait for the JRZ's since thats what I was told by an inside source will be the most superior setup

It is supposed to be out by the end of the year. I think they are testing it out on 3 diff cars right now, 650, 545 and M5. Thats all I know for right now but I am gonna go up there again in November to get some more stuff (my wifes family lives in Morgan Hill). Diff, Flywheel and hopefully more engine mods if they finish by then.

Hey, maybe we can meet up when you're here. I'm about 20 minutes from the Dinan facility in Morgan Hill.
