Looks good man. I too am on the look out for a 470 to replace our passat wagon for the wife. seems a natural direction to go with them sharing the same platform as the 4th gen's. What's the breakdown of the build so far?

470SNC,
They have been building high-end ATV, UTV and snowmobile shocks for almost twenty years now and are based out of Canada. They are expanding into the truck and SUV market and bringing some cool new features while maintaining a similar price point to a comparable shock (Fox, King, etc).

Down South Motorsports out of San Diego, CA is getting the first big shipment of them in the next couple of weeks I believe.
