Got the 510 double adjustable installed yesterday. Drove around town a little on full soft setting. Wow, very noticeable difference in compliance compare to the 510 single adjust. The ride was soft even with 12k/15k springs. Can't wait to try them out at the track this weekend.

Honda-guy, any updates?

I'm interested on running the double adjustable set up on a NASA TT as well. The 510's and also the Dreadnought PRO 2-WAY series seem to offer great features for the price.

Honda-guy been winning and setting record with Northeast region NASA TT and did very well at NARRA. Last time we talked, he loved the FAs

did 3 events on the 510 double adjustable so far and heading to Pittsburgh this weekend to do NARRA TT. i love the 510 double. the best coilovers i've ran on the car so far. the compression settings are very noticeable with one or two clicks. i'm still playing around with the settings for each track but i have a pretty good starting point for each track. the car handles the curbs nicely and body roll and dive are minimal. i set for full soft when driving to and from track and the car feels almost like stock even with 12k/14k springs.

only thing is it's pita to install the canisters. the rear is not so bad, i found a pretty good location for them. the front were a pain cause the socks are non inverted and the lines comes out the bottom, needed to find a way to install them so the lines are not in the way of suspension movement and tire doesnt rub. and also find a location to mount the canister. i was able do fine a decent solution that i'm happy with for now. i'll post up some pics of the install on my build thread once i have some time.

I've been running the FA 500s with 10k/12k spring rates since May 2011 and have put over 26,000 miles so far on mine. Haven't had any complaints, for the average HPDE/Track day enthusiast I've been very happy with them!

I've only run them with street tires (275 star specs) and haven't had any issues with them bouncing around at the track. Mind you one of the tracks is brand new and freshly paved, so it's super smooth. Have the dampening set to the middle (8 clicks from full stiff).

^^^Really like the choice in C/o's but the resavoir mounting could be better. Tie wraps are good for some things but I think you need a more permanent solution.

Better placed on the upper strut bars IMO using hard mounts

Yeah. Just temp mounting for now. Will replace zip ties with stainless hose clamps probably. I made metal brakets for the front to zip tie on. The canister is too large to sit on top the strut tower for hood to close and the line is not long enough. Also I've measured the temp of strut tower vs the current location and the strut tower is 20° hotter. Front gets fresh cool air while strut tower gets hot air from engine and turbo.

Just received my FA order. Took 4 weeks which was disclosed up front

Upon receiving the FedEx shipment I must say was very impressed w/the packaging.
Double boxed, C/o'rs were individually bubble wrapped 2x over, Each C/o'r nestled into the box & separated w/cardboard & foam separators

The order included the dyno graph,certificate of US build, instruction manual, perch wrenches, plus a few FA decals which I requested. The outside of the box noting the order specs & a ISO cert which I like. The ISO cert gives me some level of confidence that FA is following a formal,regulated Q.C. program

Thanks to Terry for the personal help via phone & email. FA was always available via phone & very quick w/their email replys

EVO is going to the shop for the install & some bushing work to both front & rear control arms

Will update once I get it back on the track

Are these able to adjust caster on the front? It looks like the top plates are cut out to allow caster adjustment.
