I don't quite understand what you mean by this statement, Robert.

Please clarify.

People say that motons or ohlins will be so much better, but they never do a back to back test to prove it.

We all read this and that and sometimes people are just quoting ads and sometimes they have experience.
Robi has driven cars with lots of setups and is a hard core racer.
I think I will listen to him.

I don't think Robi is refering to the R&T Ohlins which all the talk on EVOm centers around. Robi said "more expensive options" than the DMS 50s and the R&T Ohlins are decidedly less.

No one has done a true comparison test because it's a colossal PITA to do. You would need to use the same car/driver on the same day and swap out Shocks allowing time to optimize each set etc.etc. I would love to do it BTW it's just not that realistic (who is going to pay for it?). I would absolutely be sure of your purchase though because nothing defines your car more than the suspension set-up. Really do your homework guys, that's what I'm saying.

What wheels are you running with +28 offset? I have some +28 TE37s on order and I think they're gonna rub in the rear, it's pretty close right now [255/40/17]
