    Gen 2 Ahlman Engineering Ohlins

    Hey All, So far we have retrofitted five sets to Gen 2 and sold the same number new (mostly FGT Forum members). All of those with the Gen2's have been quite happy with the upgrade or new purchase. The $3,100 upgrade to Gen2 for Gen1 owners is free until March 2019. Currently, it takes about 2...

    Gen 2 Ahlman Engineering Ohlins

    Mark, Thank you much for the continued endorsement. I have had fun working with you guys. I am going to look at making it down there for the mile. We could do the part swap whenever. The free upgrade to Gen2 will make it so much easier to swap springs like we did last year. I'll reach out to...

    Gen 2 Ahlman Engineering Ohlins

    With a few weeks heads up to coordinate timing it should only take a couple of days once received and then ship them back to you. No problem. All is good. Hope so there as well.

    Gen 2 Ahlman Engineering Ohlins

    MarkH new Texas Mile record 293.6 mph

    Hey Ed, I did very specific springs, valving on 4 way shocks and ride heights for their car and speed. More aggressive than my RT-2 package so you would not want to run it on the street or really even a road course. I also worked with M2K on alignment specs including minimizing cambers. The...
