I am currently in Bali. Will be back on the weekend. I'll head straight to Shockworks when I get back and get photos of them getting built up for everybody. In the meantime, have a merry Xmas!

The first shipment has sold out. When I get back to Aus I'll gauge how many are genuinely interested on another production run. Thanks everybody!

GTBee is in Sydney. He should be writing a review soon. I think Sydney people will appreciate them most

Due to double demerits etc etc, I've hardly driven the car since installing them, sad to say.

What I can say from initial impressions, which are very favourable, is the the ride is certainly no worse that my previous setup (Bilsteins and Epic Springs - which is similar to stock ) and is almost certainly better.

Being in Sydney, shit roads are never far away.....

The car feels more planted on road and I feel more confident in pushing it harder.

Will do a more extensive drive early in the new year, with a review of course.

Just got back to Melb and spoke to Shockworks. The shipment is in Aus but haven't been delivered to Shockworks yet. They are blaming holiday delays. We should see them soon though.

Would we need to set base position/bottom mounts and pre loads etc straight out of the box or would they be set at the recommended amounts with just height to adjust?

Owen, there wasn't any product information (apart from a leafless in Korean) and a generic Shockworks leaflet in the box that came with my coilovers.

I'm not sure if the adjusting knob for the rear units adjusts the bump or rebound, for example.

Are you able to post a brief outline of operation instructions for these units or provide a link to a PDF file?

No, you'd need to get them set up by somebody who knows how, as everybody prefers different heights. Rocky, I can book you in to do this when you come to pick them up and fit them.

The fronts are adjusted at the bottom, and the rears at the top. Counterclock is soft, clock is hard. Bump and rebound are ramped together, as these digressive dampers already have fine tuned bound and rebound settings built into them.

No need. I've bitten the bullet and ordered 10 more. I'm guessing when people start fitting them and the word spreads, I'll need a few sets here in stock.

Ah, you're awesome. I figured given the first lot went so quick, you'd end up with enough demand anyway.

I'll start saving my pennies... :)
