PCD: Last year's version
Yeah they helped me initially at GTA with levels and tape measurer, only because they got them to me the day before the event and I didn't get them on until 2am. Then woke up at 530am to head out to NJMP, Was a long *** weekend.
I've since got my tires and alignment from Treadzone set to Front -3.2 ~ 1/16 toe in and Rear -2.0 ~ 0 toe on the RS3 setup. It is a major improvement. Very very easy to drive now. The FA system responds very nice too and has good valving ,compared to my previous MR Billies/Eibach setup, and rebuilds are cheap(& ON THE EAST COAST), upgrade-ability is nice if I want to go 2-way(for pennies) later.
BTW, I still have my MR Billies and Eibach setup. They may or may not be for sale.

Can I trade my moton's in for FA's? Seems like that's where the bandwagon is headed...
On a serious note, does anyone have shock dyno plots from a set of FA's? I'd be very hesitant to buy them without seeing some performance data first.

It's all posted on their site Aaron. They use the same Rhoerig(spelling?) that all of the other shock manufacturers use to dyno test the shock. Based on my reading, they can valve the shocks anyway you want.
F - F'in Sandy no power for 48 + hours, no cable either. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luckily I got me a 6000 watt generator Sunday morning (got one of the last 10 at Home Depot) and have some things powered here enough already! I have my 2 refrigerators, cable box, 46" LCD, lap top, 75 gallon fish tank with light, electric heater, light going, ran the generator 48 hours so far. I need to change the oil 8 hours ago. Has 7 gallon tank and runs about 18 hours.
Thai posted this post on my laptop that is tethered to my Hacked Phone son! Not that big deal now that Verizon has to let us tether but I was doing it before they let you... thats OG fool
Watching Crossroads Guitar Festival on DVD on my Blue Rayplayer, went out to the bar to watch the Sixers win their opener and now just chillin with the noise of the loud azz generator and the sweet sounds of the masters of guitar. My poor neighbors, the noise is ridiculous.

Took a look at their site. The plots look pretty good. Their digressive valving looks on par with their competitors, although this is all first party information. Would be nice for a third party to confirm with independent testing. I looked at their dreadnought pro, since that is most similar to my clubsports (double adjustable with external reservoirs and large monotube). I might have given them a thought if I was in the market, but I don't see a reason to switch from what I currently have.

I sell fabrication jigs to the Chinese for ebay parts, blame me, and also have a side entrepreneurial start up just like killerpenguin but only on the weekends.
I got a job for you and it doesn't require being on your knees or using any of your orifices.. scouts honor.
Of course if my car was national capable and co-driven($plitting the upgrade$) and/or could win moneys to make up for the cost I paid thru contingencies then I would run them.
As far as FA they test 100% of the shocks, they build them to your liking, BUT most people just let them build "OTS" specs for their specific car. When I service(re-valve) them, I'm upgrading remote 2-way adj. and buying 2 more pairs of spring rates to play with 14/16kg. Might not be for a while, these things take a beating on track, autox and DD on these lovely roads.
That's cold kid.

so you have 510's? question is how do they ride, and what would you feel comfortable comparing them to?
