I remember when the 2812's first came out and yes they are very good shocks for a street/track car that are contained in a single canister. Since Arnon's car already has the suspension mods of the NSX-R then we need to check and verify the corner weights to see where the car is at today before attempting to tune the car. The corner weights will give us a good idea of what to expect with the polar moment of the car and see what settings will provide the grip level required. I like to start with a symetrical car that has corner weights equal left and right (as close as we can get them) the shock settings for compression I start as soft as possible and then increases the level of compression until the car starts to get to rough on the driver and then back off a click. Then I go for rebound to keep the tires on the tarmac this way I can find interaction in the adjustmentents if any. Arnon has his sensor (butt) tuned a little better so he should be able to feel the changes and provide feedback. I also like to (after we have the car tuned) remove the settings from one shock on the car to allow the driver to experience a dead shock so he can recognize this when it happens on the track. My crew chief does this to me once a year to level set my sensor (butt) and reboot my O/S (head) the control system for my sensor (butt).
