I have 16s sitting in a box waiting to go on, does that count?! Haha.

There's a guy on here that runs them, but hasn't been on in a while.

You really want/need to run those on a full custom setup. It's not like bolt on coilovers.

As noted, I haven't run them yet. However, I've done a good 6 months of research on them, talked to the owner of ORI several times, and talked with at least ten people who run them. I currently have my build designed in a fully working CAD model. The real build starts next weekend.

I can probably answer most of your questions, except seat of the pants feel. In that case, it's all second hand knowledge.

Yes, there will be a build thread. I'm collecting parts right now and I couldn't start that process until we had the CAD model done. Have been working on the axles over the last month. I'll get the thread started in the next couple weeks.

Hope he doesn't mind that I'm posting his video, but it shows the benefits of ORI's in off camber situations
