Damptronic E shock update

Well after much work we have joined forces with a company in the Netherlands Tractive suspension http://www.tractivesuspension.com. These guys are the real deal they worked with the Benetton F1 team on active suspension and now have a new electronic shock that can react in 3 ms, this works out to 6" at 125 mph. We will have a booth at PRI in Indy to introduce our new velocity based shock controller and the current CAN based unit. Now the question is what do we have for the FR-S, right now nothing but now I have a company willing to build what we need without me having to be in the shock business. We will have Penske level shocks the price will be more but the quality and reactive control should be a great improvement. We have plans for testing and racing in IMSA pro cars to get some real testing done. The new company is DSCSport and will be at booth 2612 & 2614 so come by and give me a hard time, we will have a shock dyno there to play with. http://www.dscsport.com/
