As usual, the Suspension Analyzer v2.4 got lots of attention.  Some of that was because a suspension tuning seminar at Indy used it for demonstrating suspension performance, especially the new Jacking Component calculation.  The Shock Dyno also got a lot of interest.  We debuted it last year, but this year we've got it much more production ready.  Here's a list of its main features:
