Kids put this one together but its illustrative of what they can look like and how they operate.

Took the drive out the Penske this week to discuss some of the final details of the shock packages. The first set for the Raceseng FR-S will be on display this weekend at 86Expo.





I know there are some anxious people but please bear with us!

Is there a ballpark price? I know what the speculation is but it'd be nice to see something from the horse's mouth.

I'm assuming these product photos and diagram is accurate.

I guess the linear pistons and the progressive pistons look very similar. Though if you're not at liberty to divulge detail right now I'd totally understand. I'm a big fan of you guy's products and choose to use them on my motorcycle over Ohlins.

They're the high-flow linear piston. Doesn't appear to be much (if any) dish either.


Remote canister (not piggyback) and the double-adjuster on the shaft make it seem like they're developing with the 8760 adjusters.


As they've said all along, these will not be cheap... but for those who want a no-corners-cut set of coilovers, this is as good as it gets.

The above diagram looks old and isn't correct. Page 23 I think in the below manual is correct.

http://www.penskeshocks.com/assets/A...%20Manual1.pdf

The raceseng build will have high flows. I think they're 1º/2º dish with 2 on compression. I'll leave it up to Jarrett to post more build details if he wants when we're done testing.

High flows with bleed shims are great for street driven cars.
