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...

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?

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.
