The following info was taken from ACS Germany's official press release:
This suspension consists of "upside-Down" dampers and coil springs for the front axle, and dampers and springs with multipiece aluminum height adjustment for the rear. This not only makes steering behavior more precise, but significantly improves traction. The limit zone is moved perceptibly upwards, as reflected by lap times. Two adjustable parameters characterize the racing suspension, so bound and rebound dampening are variably adjustable via a knob. This means the damper characteristics can be easily and quickly set to the dampening force required. This innovation in "upside-down" design is constructed as a monotube system and is characterized by many advantages:
* fast response
* wide adjustment range
* low weight
* simple handling
In this "upside-down" construction, the piston rod doesn't point up towards the fixing point, but down towards the wheel mounting. The advantages: The heavier components are attached to the bodywork, the lighter ones to the suspension. So the unsprung mass id reduced. The system even absorbs high transverse forces very efficiently, is extremely robust and ensures a long useful life. This system has already proven successful in motor racing.
They do not post any lap times, but I will ask them and update the thread.

Thanks for the additional information. I would be curious to see if they have lap times. How long would it take to get this suspension? Does ACS offer sway bars too?
