    Gen 2 Ahlman Engineering Ohlins

    Sure - prior our design required special tools and up to an hour of effort to change out springs. The Gen 2 design takes minutes per spring without special tools beyond a spring compressor. Prior the parts had to be pressed out with specially made tools. Let me know if you have more questions...

    Andy was not on the '05-06 GT chassis/suspension. I was one of the four on the design side and then development too. What do you need regarding the GT suspension? Scott

    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...

    Pruett and the GT

    Yep, I am all too familiar with this general rule. Every sanctioning body seems to have it and exercise it more than I like. Look forward to seeing you as well, Rex! Scott

    Pruett and the GT

    They need you on the marketing and management team. Apparently somebody didn't get the memo on sandbagging and politics prior to BoP, which is intended to "equalize" all...unfortunately the rules are nothing like 1966

    Pruett and the GT

    Skids Pretty sure those are skids like on most real race cars. A wearable and replaceable item. Definitely not plywood. They can be of many different materials (jabrock, aluminum, and CF sometimes) for weight, weight distribution, friction, strength/stiffness and durability. The bottom of the...

    Ahlman Engineering Ohlins Coil-Overs

    Hey Rex, Mark and I tested all four configurations I sell for maximum handling and ride. The four configurations involve springs and damper settings. The two-way shocks allow low speed adjustment the same as the low speed adjustment on the four-way shocks, but with less clicks (more fine...
