very smart - question is, better to have perfect CV but 2 seal sections and more friction, or CV and membranes (and rebound setup) but les stiction?

I admire the idea though!

Myrberg was (not sure he still is) one of the 10 best DTM racers in the worlds, so he cannot be that wrong ;)

Tell you what, they work flawlessly in 1/10 pan car shocks! Neat to see it carry over!

AE 10/12 R5- the started as side shocks to get equal damping in both directions, then the center shock got the new treatment

How do you mount the top with the shaft in the way? When you extend the suspension does the shaft go far enough into the body to get at the screw?
