And for good reason. Shocks play such a crucial role to race car handling, tuning, grip & lap times. There isa story in this catalog where Ron worked with a top GT race team, who were previously champions, but a little behind in their shock program. Rons newer tech shocks made their GT car 3.5 seconds faster at Button Willow Raceway in California. They went on to win WERC,USTTC & Trans Am championships with that car on Rons shocks.Autocross has been called road racing in a closet. Everything is shorter straights, corners, chicanes, hairpins, etc. There is less time for the car to react. So, the fastest responding shock has an advantage & running slow reacting shocks is simply dumb. The 3200 series (small body) single adjustable monotube shocks, from Advanced Racing Suspension (ARS)react in 5.3 milliseconds (ms). These shocks were designed by Ex-Indy Car racer Corey Fillip, whose shocks are winning in open wheeled & full body race cars all over.The ARS 3200 series (small body) double adjustable monotube shocks with external canister respond in 4.5 ms. For comparison, the quickest reacting shocks from Fox, JRI & Penske (also with canister) respond in 5.0 ms. Fox, JRI & Penske non-canister shocks respond in 5.5 ms.So why dont we run these ARS 3200 series (small body) shocks in everything?The small body & small piston help achieve the quick response. But the shock body, even with canister, doesnt carry enough oil volume for long usage, like road courses. Like everything in life, racing is about pros & cons, as well as finding the best balance for your usage & goals.Currently, Penske shocks are the leading technology in road racing. The 5.0 ms response time combined with digressive/decoupled pistons make these Penskes the highest grip shocks in road racing. Their 8300 double adjustable & 8760 triple adjustable shocks are winning in everything from IMSA to Indy Car. Ron worked directly with Penske Engineers to develop our Secret Sauce valving that utilizes tie-down technology in the bleed circuit to create the highest grip valving possible for road race cars with a ride height above 2.107'
