What's New
Regarding the Advance Design Adjustment and Revalving Manual
 The
Advance Design rebuild page has been taken off this web site, it
turns out nobody has needed it. At first I thought that this would help our current
customers when they were rebuilding their struts, but as it turns out, very few have
needed to be rebuilt. Some shocks and struts have been revalved in the search for
speed, but we have done very well with having our adjustments used to compensate for
conditions and situations. Our Advance Design shocks and
struts now come with a technical manual for helping you learn how and when to adjust
double-adjustable shocks, and sometimes more importantly, when to leave them alone.
Of course we cannot discuss specifics on the internet, but our sales have been excellent,
and one of the best signs that we are headed in the right direction is that we have a lot
of referral business, which is highly unusual in the competitive world of racing. Racers
just don't like to talk about their speed secrets. Advance Design
shocks and struts have won SCCA National events in A/S, T1,T2
and E/P, and have won many SCCA regionals and BMW club events.
