Default Question for guys with Stasis TrackSports

What Plating did yours come with the Gold Cadmium or Silver?. Mine came with silver but on there site they show the gold color. Not my biggest issue with them but just curious. The adjustment perch looks like someone used a pipe wrench on two of them straight from the factory.

Default are you talking about the shock body?

Mine is actually still the original Koni Yellow. I'm running 550/650 too. It's a great compromise but I think I want to go stiffer soon.

Default So how soft is 550/650

One of the other guys is running 600/750 and says its pretty rough so i thought 550/650 would be nice and stiff but not bone jarring.

Default it's still plenty stiff

At the time I got my suspension, they were recommending 500/600 for 1.8tqms as the max spring rate for street use. I wanted something a little stiffer so went with 550/650. It's driveable but on rough roads, you'll definitely feel it's stiffness. It becomes most apparant over uneven/oscillating freeways and of course when you hit a pothole. I'd say it's good for street and a bit of track.

I'm getting more into tracking (even though it's my daily driver) so I want to go stiffer. I really don't mind the stiff ride though and the passengers can ride in another car if they don't like it, hehe.
