Matt/Tony,
thanks for the responses...I'm working with Mark Moore of DMS NA and I think we're getting much closer to "being on the same page"

Request - could you talk to Jaime and see if he can't provide Mark with the spring plots for the DP/MG and KST springs he's suggesting we use on the SVX? I'd like to see how they compare to the linear GC springs (365#F and 325#R) folks are using with their Koni inserts. Given the use here (street and autoX), I think we're probably going to lean heavily to just using the KST springs (single progressive). Could you also ask Jaime about how the rebound tracks with the bump adjustment on the 40mm pieces? I'm very interested in being able to set my car up so it basically "locks down" while out on the autoX course (big time slow rebound ) without the car getting so stiff in bump that the car's tires bounce (i.e., turns into a go cart)
Oh, and another thing, can you ask Jaime about suspension velocity histograms for the 40mm pieces, I'd like to know what it's going to take to get to roughly 65% critical damping..

-Bill
