Benefits of RAM:
1) less unsprung weight due to the monotube being at the top of the assembly.
2) Has higher durability to lateral loads (not that the BR is not durable).
3) The shock fluid will remain/run cooler due to it being farther away from the brakes, resulting in more consistent performance on the track.
4) "Cool" factor of having inverted monotube coilovers.
Disadvantages (some subjective):
1) the adjustment knob is on the bottom of the assembly, so you have to reach behind the wheel (turning the wheel helps here for the fronts) in order to access it. And you also have to know which way to turn for softer/stiffer if you can't see it.
2) If the adjustment knob is not tightened fully, you will loose it since gravity wins.
3) Cost, it is more expensive than the BR model ($150 more).
4) I would imagine that only if you last name rhymes with "umacher" then you probably wouldn't be able to tell a performance difference, certainly not on the street.
So the inverted setup is the better overall choice or would it just be personal preference? As far as street driving the RAM should be fine I guess.
I do 95% street driving and 5% drag strip.
How much more are the inverted coilovers?
