Someone should tell these poor folks at my350z that the ChaseAero user is DGR aka Russ hyping his own product:

The day before, Joe posts he had taken over the account.

Unless that's Russ till using the Chaser account. Most of his M.net stuff was posted well before that. His first DGR account posts on M.net started on Jan 30th.

My understanding is that the guy wants to have some others look into and evaluate his product. Having some hellaflusher who might be prominent on CR try things out is not the same as having someone like Stewart or a racer with a clue doing the same. I know that Brain races and…has a really huge Brain. For one thing, at least some dynos done by Koni will be available soon, that will help get a sense of things as it did with Raceland. Besides that, I'd prefer to see a few sets dynoed to get a sense of consistency. Hopefully they'll at least do 2 fronts and 2 rears at a minimum.
Appy-polly-loggies Brain if y8s's reaction or concern was yours too.

Guys, I got some updates for you...
As you know, I had a set of shocks dynoed recently. I wanted to pass these along to you. I've talked to a technical guy here, so I know exactlywhat I'm looking at.
First thing I want to point you to is the Damper vs. Rebound. As you can see (below 0 line) the main rate of change comes from the rebound side. Not a ton of adjustment on the damper side. The one thing you'll see is the shock is erring towards the side of comfort and matched pretty well to the spring rate.
Jason at Koni said this shock is definitely going to work well for a guy that daily drives his Miata, but likes to do spirited driving. If you are building a track car and you need to shave 0.010 seconds off your lap time, you'll be disappointed.
BUT it doesn't end there. I want to improve the track set up. I've sent over some information to my factory and told them the R&D guys need to take this back and play with this more. Seeing 0-20-25-30 as the adjustment points. Just a 4-way adjustment. Unless 1-19 give a drastic change, those points are useless. Its going to take me some time to get a true track ready system. I wont accept the factory getting this done in 1 month. I want a shock, test it, change it, rinse, lather, repeat. I'm not going to release it until it's right.
In closing, I'm not trying to push a revolutionary new product that's going to set the world on fire. My goal is to help you improve the feel of your street car, with out breaking the bank.
Let's discuss, let's please keep it civil. I'd like for this discussion to keep this technical and see how we can make this better for the track guys. I'm here to help...
I'm going to add some content as we go, as needed...
