Gonna be ordering some Cusco coilovers soon. Going with the Zero2's or the Zero2R's. They're the same, except the R's have inverted dampers, but are almost $500 more. I understand inverted dampers are stronger, but are they that much better that they're worth that much more? I'm going to be running them mostly on the street and autox and as much track days as I can, if that makes a difference. Should I go for the 2R's or just the Zero 2's?
Inverted dampers that much better?

from what i can tell from riding motorcyle is that inverted fork is the shit. super sport bikes' front suspension are using this type of suspension design, before that they're not inverted.
You were in a 4-G Inverted dive with a MiG28? 
As for inverted struts... I am NOT an expert on this subject. I can only regurgitate what I've read. One little titbit I seem to remember was that the added strength of the inverted design helps to reduce the friction and thus the heat build up when the struts are working really hard. Less heat, less chance of failure. But, I'm sure there is much much more to it than that.

^^ That's another thing I was thinking. Especially on these US roads, the extra strength would help last longer
Really? Even on the stiffest setting? What springs rates, 8f/5r?
My wife would love this thread, right about now. :blol: She can recite that movie...
As for the benefits of inverted struts, I remember a write-up from years ago, talking about the lateral rigidity/resiliency going up substantially, with this design.
