The vendors I've found who sell racing oriented coilover assemblies are bilstien, cross, H+R, and koni (paragon).
Did I miss one or more?
Does anybody have an opinion (good or bad) about any of these? Any first hand experience?
Anybody know which ones have easy track side adjustable damping to facilitate chassis tuning?
The websites are remarkably uninformative, you're supposed to learn averything from a low res picture.

I've called the Paragon tech help line a number of times and found them very knowledgeable and helpful. The front Koni's are easy to adjust on the car, as are the front coilover spring perches, but the rear shocks have to be taken off, compressed and then "clicked" by twisting them, so not an easy track side adjustment... at least for the ones on the 944's

I'm resistant to Koni's, they're fairly crude dampers internally.
I've long been a fan of Bilstien's damper valve setup (DeCarbon shim stack type) and they used to be one of my sponsors back when I roadraced bikes, but having to dissassemble the shocks for revalving is a pain on a car.
Any others?

Well, I changed some parts, and now, at 6 points, it seems to be working OK.
Which parts did I go with?? I ain't telling...
But Hoosiers are next.
