The R series has around twice as much compression damping built in as opposed to the F series. The rebound is the same. This means an "R" damped car will have harsh street manners in compression while allowing the nose to drop safely from a wheelstand situation.

We usually spec R series for cars unloading fully or getting air. We usually specify single adjustable standard series for street cars as the heavy compression is just too much for comfortable street use.

If you PM me your email address I can send you the QA1 dyno curves so you can see numerically what I mean.

"Not on the street much" makes me feel better when specifying R series shocks to a customer. Really, the R's on the street are harsh. But they are great for when the nose drops.

A converter car vs manual car doesn't make much difference when the front lands. Really it matters most whether you can drop the nose gently or not. Standards handle gentle drops OK but if you really plan on skying the nose and being able to land it cleanly, R's are what you want. Just know they don't feel comfy on the street.

I'll send the dyno curves to your email address.

My R's on the street work great! Dramatically made the car drive better. I 'soften' them up when I am cruising and set them on kill when its time to get down!
