Lightbulb My own front end coilover setup.

I just bought some through rods intended for offroad use for $50, and was wondering what the specs are on the Red9 setup:
Spring Outside diameter?
Compression length?
Extended length?
Shock housing diameter?
Spring Rate?

I think this would help out us guys in the U.S. where the red9 setup would be a little pricey to bring over to American soil. Also I would like to have a 4 way adjustable setup: Spring rate, Compression valving, Rebound valving, and ride height. And I heard the quality of the Red9 shock is'nt up to par, thats how they can sell it for 450 for the whole shabangabang.

The Varishock, and Aldan Coilovers are the biggest canidates as some of you read on my previous posts that the Ohlins TTX44 are $3099 EACH! My price range is from $500-$1000 per pair.

I talked to Jeff the head Bilstein Rep and he suggested a 36 mm midget shock with an add on coil over sleeve kit. This would be an excellent setup for someone who wants to spend $250 on their front suspension and still get the best without the external adjustments (Besides ride height). Why Doesn't Bilstein have an externally adjustable shock besides the PSS9!!!???
