Gauging Interest: Adjustable Struts for Evo 8 & 9
Please do remember when reviewing options, quality over quantity. Rather have well-built, precision options, than a bunch of 'spec' options that just aren't that practical, or well-engineered.We continue to look forward to updates as spring has to be SOMEWHERE around the corner Chris. Thanks.
Oh, I also forgot to add one more, very important thing. I know struts that are suitable for lowering have their limitations, but want TRAVEL / DROOP!!! Because tripodding sucks.

Here is the latest update:
We are still working on trying to figure out an easy solution to the clearance issue between the bottom of the front strut and the C.V. Axle. That is the area where our adjustment knob and valving is typically located. We are trying to find a solution to moving it up without completely redesigning the internals of the shock. I will let you know as soon as I hear of anything from the engineers.

I just want the strut body to be 1-2in shorter than stock
That only applies to certain koni models (http://www.amdtechnik.com/technical.koniadjustment.cfm)
I would be interested in this setup as well. I'm still on the stock Bilsteins and stock springs, but doing a mild prep for STU this summer. Would be nice to have something damped well for the swift spec-r and still be used for a daily driver.
The really needs to be an alternative to the Bilstein HD for our cars. I have been waiting 2 months to order a set and it looks like it'll be another 2-3 months before I can get my hands on a set.
