Those types of things are very high end and certainly not necessary for the average driver. There has been a trend lately to put reservoir shocks on 4X4 pickups etc. The truth is that nobody needs these things unless they are doing high speed desert racing with a suspension with lots of travel. Just stick with a good mono tube shock, or even some double tube shocks and you will be fine.

I just did a little research on QA1. In the most recent info I could find on the their yearly sales $$$ was 14.5 million. And they do that with 42 employees.
If you divide 14.5 million by 42 yopu come up with $345,238 sales dollars per employee.
That is way better than world class. In the automotive industry world class is considered some-where around $130,000 sales dollars per employee. No wonder their stuff is so expensive. I hope they treat their employees well and give them big bonuses!
I see they supply parts to Summit Racing also.

WOW!Great feedback, thanks! my concerns along the way are the "rebuild-ability" are these parts readily available or expensive special order things. considering the cost, i could do a full RE set up for the cost of the $400 fronts. i like the design of the top post, but moving parts break. i would imagine that if they are as advanced as implied, they have mastered simple breakages.
then there is still the fact that i am not very knowledgable in making benificial shock adjustments. simply, i dont know what im doin. maybe a great way to learn, but its a $400 class. i will say, they appear top notch.
it is a daily driver, and i like drivin it. and i dont plan on goin bigger than 33's. But i thought 31's were enough, then i put 3.5 inches under it.
