Its been a short run on this site but after that comment i think i might have to find a different site to hang at.
I always heard Ohlins were good. What makes them junk? They are big in the bike world so I assumed they would be good in the car world too. I guess they are on par based on price. Don't leave

I've heard Konis were good, so I'm buying Koni dampers in my Redshift kit. (I actually wanted a Koni/GC set up in the first place (based on word of mouth), but I took the long way through Tein land) Word of mouth is how a lot of things get sold. I listen to the mouths that have tasted the most as well as listen to what my favorite race series run.

Koniman, you have got to know that the ricer disease runs rampent in the ricer community. Some of use just have better immune systems than most. Its the true performance enthusiasts that will buy your product. Have faith in the enthusiast, let the ricers die.

You still never said why Ohlins suck. Opinions on Penske, Blistien, Moton?

I didnt really mean it the way it came out, your right word of mouth sells product.. the way i meant it was people who sell the stuff but dont use it themselves , or have never tryed anything else..

Penske does a lot more than roundy round tracks. He did get his start on road courses and just won Sebring.

I thought Bilstien made dampers for NASCAR.

Do you guys do F1 stuff?

Thats so something NASCAR would do. Did you do all the teams, or just a couple, if so, which ones, and when?

Hey Koniman. you said you were releasing some dampers for the FG. Are you also realeasing some for the FA as well? And are they a direct bolt on that can be used with any spring setup. I'm running a set of pro-kits now. I've been waiting sooo long for you guys. I'm so excited. lol.

The fronts will insert into your stock housing so you will be able to use them with any spring you please.

I'll guess at the FA, yes. Why wouldn't they? I will also guess that they will have different valving than the FG.

<===== waits to be corrected
