They have an application for the 8.
A little spendy at $2K but price might come down if you can just get the dampers.
Interesting way they do the compression adjustment.

The S2000 crowd, which has panned numerous budget shock setups in the past, thinks quite highly of the KW Variant 3. Caveat is that they were evaluated on a track with the included springs, not at an autocross with the stock springs. For reference's sake, the first reviewer complained that his previous set of Ankeny-valved Penskes were too stiff in rebound for track use.

P.S. - The rebound on my Motons is adjusted the exact same way. Kind of a pain to adjust, but they're that way because the tops of the rear shocks aren't accessible from inside the car on the 968.

Schotz had them on the Audi S4 back in the day. Had the dampers only in AS then the full race not even sold to the public custom builds when in SM. Nothing great about the AS setup, but they loved the SM set.
I heard that some shop in Fla was working with JRZ on some stuff. Still waiting for my Konis.
