Have you guys got any intention of releasing a non height adjustable damper with the GT1 valve tech in it? Something I could sling a set of springs on, fit to my car and then just forget about rather than a full coilover?

Hi,
What car is it for, is200? It is not something that we have any plans for as we want to sell kits as a whole.

Is250. I'm just curious, might be a lower cost alternative to those who want the gt 1 style damping without the height/preload adjustment for fast road use. If the answer is no, that's fine, I was just wondering.

Okay I see what you are saying, but we don't offer that.

To be honest, it won't be cheaper.
Not to mention it will completely defeat the purpose of the GT1.

The GT1 are design to be a suspension that is a good all rounder that can have everything thrown at it and perform well in all occasion.
So you should be able to do anything you want with the GT1.

Fix height is an issue right away as driver couldn't get the ride heigh they want.
Or to change ride height using springs will cause damper travel issue.

Fix damping will mean you either have a nice ride on the road but rubbish on track, a great track car but rubbish ride on the road, or in the middle which mean it isn't comfortable on the road nor perform well on the track.

The damping adjustments is a necessity if you want t have a suspension that do everything, and it is the one thing that OEM loose out on because they have to limit their range and choices for liability reason.
This limitation is something we after market are not bound by as we are willing to give more "choices" to the driver / customers.
