There is a TON of shocks out there with lots of crosstalk and low speed adjusters that do didly squat, or different things at different times. That makes it nearly impossible to dial in a shock.

AST now also do a AE86 shock, branded Aragosta. Its in the newest hot version DVD on Dori Dori's Trueno. Doesn't seem like they have it dialed in quite yet. Will be interesting to see how this develops.

This BC/Stance shock has quite low digressive blow off (1ips). Perfect if you have a very good double digressive shock. But more difficult to dial in just so. The valving style I used for my graphs is more traditional rebound biased, with knee at 3ips.
HTS are known to work, Aragosta known not to work (yet), Stance will be interesting to see.

BC and Aragosta/AST currently only offer 2 way as far as I know. I looked into them before - few pages back. It's there ER line (in the BC case), one thing that put me off there, they will only supply you with 6kg springs for the rear and ther damper graph are way over damped in higer speeds (more linear than digressive)

The communication and support from Stance was formidable to say the least so far, unlike many other brands (GAS, Koni, Bilstein to name a few). This is something I personaly find extremly aweful, yes the are bigshots in the market but that's no reason to not reply at all or reply in uninformative way to genuine requests from joe average. It's not like I'm sending out email asking for god like suspension for $100. I know it's not cheap but good things barely ever are.
