As soon as we can get the package to market. And the package will be 2 maybe 3 pound lighter than Koni package.

Endoskeleton. Exo would be the outside of the car!

Do you know if the Penske fronts have more compression travel than the Konis?

Nope. Is that what you saw? Check again. Maybe you confused me with someone else.

P.S.
MS Paint is useless, I work with Photoshop.

LOL ... keep dreamin'

Right now, they appear to be headed for an OE mount, threaded, aluminum body, digressive, custom valved for a road race application, using an off the shelf 2.5" or 2.25" spring.

That's what I thought, for the price of Konis. Just thought I'd ask in case you were working some sort of miracle, or something.

Working through a sole source vendor.

So now, when someone has a suspension question, I don't have to add any tech, just type "Call AJ".
