ROAD/RACE GRIP Suspension-2 weeks out

Fortunately we were able to get our Lancer fitted for suspension. IT is one of the last things Gabe did before he passed away. The good news is we are having 20 sets made as we speak. THese are the same proven suspension used on our Gymkhana Car. We beat a stock STI with them so we knwo they work and they are going to lower your car about 1.5 ffront and 1 inch rear. The car we tested with had perfect balance (proven in competition) and great looks. The ride felt almost stock. Expect them to be available in 2 weeks. Swaybars and strut bars are also made. Going into production next week. Stay tuned.

Wow you guys are on the ball. Beating a stock STI with 150ish HP? Only RRM!

I'm glad you guys are doing suspension setups. What is involved with this setup? Are they coilovers?

GRIP is the Private label for the line of suspesion products we will be making. Like Works SPIN>>>>> lalala. The difference is that the GRIP Product name stands for GABE REST IN PEACE ! Again it was the last project he did. I am not going to forget him. Others won't know what GRIP means but I will!

Hey ROCK, you know what that means though.... YOUVE GOTTA GO ALL OUT! I was workin on mah grandparents cabinets when mah Grandpa died, By the end of the week i had those cabinets lookin like they were from a kings palace. Its what we do in memory of those we loose, becasue we love them and thier moments shared with us give us extra-strength!

Very cool about the GRIP meaning.

But like show time, I was actually asking what parts. You mention some specs but never actually said what you're selling...
