Yup, I got it too. I was talking with Shaun a few days ago about springs and if he was going to Carlisle. He told me he was working on the 3 link. I'll check it out at his space.
I posted the sneaky 'spy shot' on our Facebook page just to let guys know a little what we are up to. Detailed finished production shots will of course come when its released.
I'm pretty excited about it. Been planning/working on it for 3 years. We are currently designing/testing/tuning the Street/Sport/Race valved Bilstein coilover options to match the front coilver options we already offer. This will give you a balanced package, 4 point ride height adjustability and corner weight capabilities not to mention a wide range of spring rates that are cheap and easy to change.
Current system weight is approx. 30lbs lighter than the leaf spring system I took off.
Its going to be a tough Summer having to drive all those street and track miles but I suppose I'll have to do it. Production is planned for Fall 2012 but don't shoot me if its not ready by then. Nothing goes to production unless I'm 110% happy with it.
I'm DYING to get more info on this. I don't think I'll be able to get up to Carlisle, but please post up pictures as soon as you feel it is "ready." I'm already saving my pennies.
If it weren't for Shawn, my car would be DONE and in new paint, but he keeps coming up with great new gear that just takes priority!
As much as I'd love to release the product now (I've been driving it and it absolutley ROCKS), I have to resist until it is absolutely perfect. We are using this Summer to beat on it at Road America, Mid-Ohio, Gingerman and Waterford race tracks as well as log as many street miles as we can. Main objectives are durability testing (see if we can break something) and to dial in the shock/spring package to balance our front systems.
When will you be in Elkart Lake, maybe see you there and check it out. Looks nice from the 1 pic. How hard would it be to mount the trailing arms inboard, for more tire room? Or would that throw everything off?
