I took my car equipped with the 500 series and Swift upgrades to the Dragon this year for ZDayZ. I couldn't believe my car was capable of the way it performed that week. I don't autox/track it (yet), so I apologize for my lack of information specific to your application. I will say that a professional driving/autox instructor drove it and commented a number of times on how well-balanced the car was, and how he couldn't find any complaints/vices with my car or the way it was setup. I'm also running nismo s-tune sways and RE11's.

I'm going with them or PBM on my next set because of a provided dyno sheet for your set which is a plus on quality control!

This is exactly why I am going with them. Dyno sheet + stateside facilities for rebuilds/re-valving.

Cool, thx!

The 500's aren't a true rear coilover, are they? I'm pretty sure the 510's are...

Correct. Rear on the 500 is OEM-style. I believe I read they switched from a true type rear to the OEM for performance reasons. I'll try to find the source.
