 This shock was the inspiration for our entire company. To build a quality coilover shock that could be priced for the masses. Once you hold one of these in your hand, you'll know we succeeded.
We start with a 2.5 DOM body and machine in a large ACME thread to ease preload adjustment. Our upper shock end is made with a High Pressure cast system specifically designed with strength in mind. The lower rod end is a wrought material to withstand the additional load placed on a coilover. Both ends get a high quality spherical bearing, with the lower being replaceable. An optional upper mount with replaceable bearing is also available. A fully rebuildable and revalvable piston/shim arrangement gives endless possibilities.Our seal head is set up with Buna-N seals, good for temps of 250 degrees. Our plated hardened chrome 7/8 shaft ensures you that your shock is made for the long haul. Our upper spring preload adjuster can be easily adjusted using a simple strap wrench and an allen wrench to tighten it.Our large remote reservoir uses a floating piston to keep the oil and air separated. This ensures more consistent performance and aids in cooling as well.
We now have a "High Temp" option that upgrades the shocks to Viton seals and a higher temperature piston wear band...taking the max temp up to 400 degrees. If you plan to race or just play extra hard, it's a great upgrade. Our large remote reservoir uses a floating piston to keep the oil and air separated. This ensures more consistent performance and aids in cooling as well.
Our smaller shocks (6-8") can be set up with a single coil spring, or you can opt for a dual rate setup as well. The larger shocks will all require the dual rate hardware...a $25 option that gets you the spring floater (divider) and a crossover adjustment nut for tuning options.
