Ooooo, pretty! Let me know if anyone is interested in knowing about the install or performance. If anyone is in the SE PA area and will want a ride, let me know too.

Default I'd love to know the spring rates and see a Force/Velocity dyno graph of the fronts and rears...

...with a run per adjustment click (from 0-9) on a velocity scale max of 12 inches/second.

And the gas pressure PSI would be nice to know as well.

Is that too much to ask?

Ha, wouldn't I need a shock dyno for some of that?

Default Lots of German here, if you want to see it...

I have a minor in German, but this isn't "where is the bathroom" stuff. :-)

Default yeah, not sure what the going rate is on dyno time...

...but I'd bet it's not that much. I'd help subsidize the data if you did it. I know of shock dyno's in SoCal, but I have no idea where you are at.

Default i'm looking for something like this:

Of course, in metric would be fine as well.

Your PSS9's would have 0-9 lines corresponding to each click.

Different graph for front and for rear, but all 9 plots of each damper (front or rear) on the same graph.

Default Dover Downs is kind of nearby...

I tried calling AWE, but they rarely pick up the phone for me. I'll try again later today.
