Experiences with DMS Suspensions?

Does anyone have any experiences with DMS suspensions? Either the DMS M2 40 mm Coilovers or the DMS 50mm Adjustable Giant Coilovers? I'd be interested in any results or opinions.

Has anyone used or heard of these coilovers on other vehicles besides the MINI?

Anyone?

These shocks are used by Brian Lock in the USTCC #44 GOTO Racing Subaru WRX. One very fast machine. Ended the season #2 in the driver standings and Rookie of the Year.



Also the site you have the link to is Vesko Kozarov, he has the USTCC #98 MINI S. I'm not sure if he is using DMS Coilovers, but I'm sure he could answer any questions you might have. Just contact the web site

True, but I was looking for a little third party advice. I'll contact them and see what they have to say!

GOTO: Racing is a DMS dealer http://www.gotoracing.com/ up in the Bay Area. Brian mentioned that the DMS Coils have a wide range of adjustability. At one of the races they were able to take advantage of the rough surface of the track for the win because of the DMS Coilovers.

DMS is a brand that is focusing on rally racing. And they are really good in their market. I dare to say that DMS builds better race suspensions than Leda.

So depending on what you want, they could be an interesting option for you. If you just drive around, then DMS is overkill, stick with something like the PSS9 , however, if you do racing ... DMS is one of the bigger players.

Yeah, I think they're overkill for my purposes as my Mini is a daily driver and only sees 10 or so track days a year. I'll probably go with PSS9s.
