I would like to see graphs for the units I receive. I have somone nearby that will do them for me (although not free) but the timing is real tight and I would like to get it done before installation. Thanks
Latest word is the package won't ship till the end of next week, so, Redfoot, I think you will be cutting it real close to have them tested before Blackhawk. I doubt that dyno's will be included though. I do know a shop REAL close to Blackhawk that has a shock dyno though.
Sounds like some will have their shocks ready for the Glen!

Maybe we can get Unitech to Dyno them for us flatlanders since we are not in the right place for a free install & tune???? They gotta have the resources to do this for us. As long as they are waiting for other parts to be finished they possibly could stick 'em in the machine & give them a documented exercise. 
As long as they ship B4 the end of this week....

Unless you get them over-nighted, & have time to install.......which I hope is happening!
Dave,
I have the stock upper mounts, and yes they have rubber in them. I wouldn't say I have an excessive amount of slop though. Therefore, I'm going to stick with them for a while and see how it goes.

I will be getting the monoball upper mounts. Might as well get it all. It was explained to me that the monoball will allow the suspension to move more freely without binding or resistance. fwiw
Now that I have decided against putting myself into debt for a $400K cardboard box, these coilovers may be on my agenda once again. Looking forward to getting a ride from you Brian at Watkins Glen next month.

Seriously John...thought we lost ya there! 
The kit is great. I had it out at Big Willow this past weekend...did a bit of tweaking and had it really dialed in by the third session. I never knew that a couple clicks of compression adjustment could have such a profound effect.

So the rears are softer then the front, but I thought that this promoted understeer? Is there any word on the Phase II? Is there a page that gives a list of the complete specs of these packages? Another not. Right now I have the Hotchkis package and it helped the handling of the car a lot; very good buy for $380. I would love to have a bada$$ suspension like this Unitech/Truechoise Coilver, but right now I am only HPDE 2 (I plan on finishing HPDE and getting my license). Honestly I don't think that I would be able to take full advantage of the suspension to justify spending 3k. Would a better option be just to leave what I have on and invest in the some adjustable A-arms, possibly the 350evo?

Many people forget how good the off the shelf koni's are. You could use them with your hotchkis springs and you would see a vast improvement and have adjustability.
What is it that you don't like about your hothckis setup? If you don't see any deficiencies than there is no reason to spend more $$

The reason I didn't chose the Koni single adjustable shocks is that the front bump rate is less than OEM.....I want more front bump rate for better roll control for my track use. The single adjustable Konis only adjust rebound.
