36 way?!?

In dampers, the term "way" is reserved for which aspect of the damper travel can be adjusted...not the 'number of settings'. I assume these are one way? So either compression or rebound has adjustment, or they adjust together?

A 'two way' system will have a compression circuit- with an adjustment- and a rebound circuit, also with adjustment. Often with remote canisters. 3 way and 4 way systems add the ability to control based on rebound or compression velocity (so a 4 ways is compression and rebound adjustments, with the ability to adjust each on the basis if damper speed)

Not sure. D2 calls it "36 way damper and rebound adjustable" But yes, I assume this refers to the amount of "click" settings on the shock

I checked their website and it is only available for the fronts and no listing for the rears. It is a single way adjustable with 36 adjustment clicks for rebound. No compression adjustment.

That's the lowest E70 I've seen, looks awesome. What's the drive like?

I've just changed to H&R springs and the overall ride is so much more compliant than the std msport springs.

If someone is interested to sell me his rear self-leveling setup I am interested to buy it. I also have a set of rear springs available, but they are cheap anyway.
