So, I'm assuming y'all are adapting this device to make something easier, or more durable, or package better.

I'm guessing it's an easier way to corner balance without adjusting the shock stroke/range (like would happen when adjusting with the coilover)? So, you basically just turn the jack screw whichever direction you need to go and the shock body rotates but the shaft stays fixed to the lower mount? Do you have to run thrust bearings on the coils?
Mr. White.... (Reservoir Dogs comes to mind there).... I've been fortunate to hook up with a great group of people on this project here.. with Payton's Camaro already paving the way for some of the things we are doing on mine, plus Jim's Nascar background and Ron's diverse racing background, I could not be happier with where things are going here.

I loved the simple adjustability of the jack bolts to manipulate ride height (if necessary) when going from track to street and back.

So how is your car coming? We need some updates from Terry...
