If JRZ were to make a shock in the price range of the KW's I would be willing to bet they would blow the KW's out of the water. I have run on KW 3 way race shocks which are supposed to be the "equivalent" to the JRZ 3 ways and I can tell you from firsthand experience that it's not even funny how much better the JRZ's are. I would only assume if JRZ were to make a coilover in the $2K range that it would be the best $2K coilover available period. It will be interesting to see what they come up with

Thanks Ryan for that info but that begs the question, if JRZ is making a more "mainstream" adjustable coilover, is it likely to be in the 2K price range or are we looking at more? (Or is it too soon to tell?)

Very good point. I would assume "more mainstream" would be relative. I would expect to see them closer to the 3K range if I were to make a guess, but it is merely that, a guess. I would imagine a "mainstream" coilover from JRZ would be priced closer what the Ohlins were for the 350z($3k). Not trying to contradict what I previously said, but I find it hard to believe they would make a product in the same price range as the HKS, Teins, etc considering their high quality standards. I do however expect it to be significantly lower than their RS Pro's which are usually around the $4500 range. As of now it is too soon to tell so all we have is speculation on prices.

Thanks for the input Ryan, much appreciated.
