Yes, I knew that from the Gp forum. I am and several of us are interested in the results. (spring rates, Leda comparison and etc)
Keep up the good work.

There will be two testers in Dallas and one in Houston... So, if you're in one of those two areas, possibly...

Do these units use the stock top mounts, or do they come pre built with their own?

They can use the stock top mounts, or they will also work with camber plates.

How do these compare in ride quality to FSD's with stock SS+ springs.

Most all springs offered in the aftermarket are firm.
Bumps and freeway daily driver road handling suffers with stiffness and rattling.

Where do these fall into the stiffness scale. Stock - - - - Track super firm.

Whats the softest setting.

Are they softer than FSD's?

Also how do these compare to M7's new coilovers?

How can you compare these with M7. They are not even out yet. Each company is going to test their products, then we might get some kind of comparison once they both are out for public sale.

Based on what we've seen and been told, I'd expect these to provide a similar ride to the PSS9's... But, we shall see in a couple more weeks!

Bilstein PSS9's is what I was referring to... They should be similar to the Bilstein PSS9 coilovers from what we've seen/heard/read.

No, NOBODY in the US has these on their car, unless they brought it over from Holland. But, we'll have 3 cars hooked up with them in the next few weeks!
