I wish we could afford a big boy Okuma, Mori, DMG... etc! Our first cnc machine was a Bridgeport 3 axis knee mill retrofitted with a cnc control. It was given to us from the manufacturing company my Dad worked for. We machined these uprights on that machine, it took 22 hours per upright!

We've been scratching and crawling ever since trying to upgrade our equipment but acquiring that kind of capital without large manufacturing contracts is very difficult. We use what we have and try to get the absolute most out of it!

I'm curious to see how the finished product will compare against others in its price range. I'm assuming Penske is custom valving the shocks to the spring rate?

Very interested in what you guys come up with here and what pricing you will offer. I'm in the market for some suspension upgrades and I was thinking of going the Ohlins route.

However, if you guys can provide something similar or better in the same price range as the Ohlins, i'm all for it...

Subbed.

i'm interested, provided rebuilds aren't astronomically expensive. Koni charges basically the cost of inserts..

Will buyers be able to specify spring rates? Will you be offering different valving for different spring rates?

Im fairly sure these are completely custom :) choose a spring rate then they will valve to match.

BatStig 06-12-2015 02:10 PM

Solution: just get DMG MORI to sponsor you.

Oh, and just to show how serious I am about you guys doing this: Ohlins will be for sale towards the end of this year.
