He said he saw it on Racelands FB page.. Which is the manufacturer. After looking, I saw it as well.
There is a difference between being a manufacturer and a supplier. There are many companies that don't make anything that supply a lot of things based solely on a brand name. In my experience, while some companies have gotten the supplier model right, most of the time you are better off sticking with a manufacturer.
I'm not expecting much from them, but I am willing to see the results because unlike most, they are actually attempting to better their product and customer base.
I agree on both counts. My skepticism is based on their main selling point being lowest cost. It is a rare occurrence that a company that goes for the lowest price actually delivers anything other than that. Product improvement costs money and as soon as you start down that road, you are no longer the lowest cost.
On to you being less pessimistic though.. :lol:, lets be real here.. That'll happen the same day us "Stancypants" people think a coilover at it's max height is "too low".

Glad to see you have a sense of humor.
You are absolutely correct in that I will stick with what I know until it fails me. I will also continue to be pessimistic about newcomers because I have seen far too many big hype, low quality companies come in with fancy looking parts and prices that are lower than market. Where are they now? Nowhere to be found or tiny compared to what they once were for coilovers. JIC Magic. Tein. Bunch of others I have thankfully forgotten. I had people try to convince me that these companies did all kinds of testing and where just as good as anything else. I don't know anyone who bought their parts twice, while I do know a few people who check the price and availability of Bilsteins and/or Konis before they buy a car.
But back to the original question, my answer stands. For track work, who want a monotube and that design requires a level of precision that doesn't come cheap. You'll spend as much money or more for Bilstein monotubes (with or without H&R branding) that have zero adjustment as you will for many adjustable twin tubes, but at the end of the day, I think it is worth it. Adjustment on blown twin tubes don't do anything anyway.
