Supplied a few old shock parts to a friend of mine who runs a machine shop across the way from work. They do prototype machine work for a competition shock absorber company. Been following his latest inhouse project since then. The first prototype was run on a metal shaper for a 100 hours or so. After a few design tweaks he ran off a set of ten for some on-road real world testing.

Popped down the other day to see them after they'd returned from the anodisers. This is one from the set that I'll be testing. Mmm - lovely. Guess I'll be driving the Coupe every day soon once I've sorted out a set of shock arms to fit. I'll update this thread when they're ready to fit.
