What is interesting, there is a fairly high end damper manufacturer that says they dyno check every shock. But that is not true. We know the company that makes their dampers here in the USA and they do not test all of their shocks!. They do a random testing only. We know this because they put in a bid to make some of our stuff, but could not check all.
The challenge, for example of hollow sway bars, not only are they approx 15% weaker than solid bars, the bending processes change the metallurgy of the bend and may be different bar to bar. This is why Ron Pedders refuses to do hollow bars, because they may not be all the same.
What we need is Scotty to get his transporter up and running so we can beam over our products. Now that would be cool.

We have actually been investigating it. But the challenge always ends up being we require documentation of performance. Case in point, with our dampers, we require EVERY shock to be dyno tested and meet our specs. With our coils, we are 2mm variation in tolerances for height. We have been unsuccessful in finding a company here in the states that will do this. This is the #1 rule of Ron Pedders!

i love the stuff. and i want it. the thing that sucks is that its not here. i understand its about quality. that how we run our company too. but just like the demand for the camaro when it first came out. theres a huge demand for your products im sure. but right now you cant supply. and its frustrating to me because i dont want to buy other suspension components because all of your parts are tested together and made to interact with each other. i would do the same thing if it were eibach coil overs. i would buy all of their components and not mix and match because they are made for each other. so i guess, im here. and im gonna wait. it just sucks.
