Your inverted sport shocks ROCK!

I'm SO close to FTD.

I'll be getting your adjustable sway bar next week.

Would like to hear more on these shocks - esp in relation to the comparison with the coilovers - what did you run prior to these?

The guy who won SS last season in an '04 Porsche GT3 (racing 25 years or so) (GT3 also won Nationals this year) showed up on brand new rubber, as did I. Prior to Aaron's shocks, I could never get within 1.5 seconds of him.

I beat him today by 0.7.

Prior to that, I was on the stock shocks.

They can't rock...there have been no national championships won with them.

Yeah Right...they do freaking rock!!!! I need to get me some control arm bushings from Pfadt because I have 3 looking like they want to extrude out on me.

Craig, are they 'off-the-shelf" units, or are they custom valved ones?
BTW Congrats!

WOW. Let's do the math. 1.5 + .7 = 2.2 seconds faster with new shocks. That's almost faster then going from street tires to race tires. I'm going to have to get these shocks. Even my triple adj. Penske's showed much less improvement.

I just don't think shocks can improve that much time. At least that's what my experience has been. I believe you had a great day of driving.

For what it's worth, I might buy a set of Pfadt shocks. I've tried 04,06,07 Oem Z06, Dbl. Penske and Triple Penske shocks.

Oh yes they can. But not to the same degree on all tracks. Some tracks demand a really good shock!

While we are on the subject, I just tried out his new ball mounts. Let me just say they are awesome. If you have his older shocks, and don't have the new mounts, buy them now!
