Do only the fronts have a remote reservoir?

Only the rears. There's enough volume in the struts to not require them on the fronts.

Compare them to BC ER not BRs. Eibach R2 should still be softer due to the spring rates.

The Multi Pro R2's and the JRI's use the same rear spring rate, the Eibach fronts are 25 PPI softer.

All of that will be covered in the review...

Try 300 F and 550 Rear springs. My Bilsteins have 450 F and 672 rear. Worked out well with my current setup.

I calculated my rates off the corner weights and for the amount of droop I want, and you're numbers are actually pretty close…

I've spent quite a bit of time talking with JJ at JRI, and I think I'm going to give the rates they ship with a try first (which are a little softer than what I came up with).

I subscribe to the: soft spring / heavy ARB, school-of-thought. I'll only go up on the rates if I have too much droop and/or bottoming issues.

Oh wait you have a blower and rear weight reduction. Buddy for track you may need more up front tbo. Also swaybar specs are to be considered in this equation as well as your choice of tire. Good thing you have a coilover that can offer optional spring rates. I was going from JDP opinion of the set Jordan has on his car. I heard the rear spring rates were on the soft side and he doesn't have a blower.

How's it join' Rob?

They put me right at my desired ride height with minimal (~1/8") preload and right where I want to be in the stroke.

Now I just need to get the springs for the rears and I'll be all set.

I can however say at this time I'm not at all impressed with the DSE part of the DSE/JRI dampers. I'm not going to hold that against JRI, and have high hopes the actual dampers will make up for the shortcomings of the DSE components (Rear hats, Camber plates, Strut Body).

Based on this experience, I can honestly say, I won't be considering any DSE components in the future…

More on this later...

Kyle Tucker and I have tried to call you a few times and have left messages yesterday and today so when you can please give us a call at 704-662-3272 so we can discuss your issues/concerns.

Thanks,
Dan

Finally, and I do mean, FINALLY, she's on the road again…

During my little shake-down, a bunch of journalists showed up with a couple i8's and a 50th Anniversary 911. A GT-R pulled in a few minutes later.

When I left, at the bottom of the hill was another i8, a Ford GT, and a pretty badass Mustang Fastback.

Pretty surreal day, but definitely great to be on the road again…





Unfortunately she wouldn't go on the alignment rack with the splitter, so I took it off tonight and hoping to get her aligned tomorrow morning if it doesn't rain…

Ok cool but bro , any closeup pictures of the lady in your avatar just saying .
