GForce Engineering.

I just called Gforce to order a set of turn in spacers. Turns out he just sold his last set and is no longer making them due to market issues as well as he's retiring. He said he still has some panhards and tri links and still handles struts. Get them while the getting is good. I'm going to try out the ones available from Techno Toy Tuning.

Damn, didn't think Jim would ever retire, thats a shame. Guess Re-speed will have to start making a panhard bar and trilink setup

I may have got the last set, I got them to help improve the ackerman on my ReSpeed rack set up, dont have them on yet but they are quality pieces, there is more information on roll center theory and adjustment in the spacer instructions than I got from several hours research on the net. His knowledge and advice is something you dont run up on frequently!!! I hate to see him getting out of the 1st gen stuff.

Goodbye Jim!

I spoke with him today, and was preparing to purchase the complete Gforce system. He informed me that he is done, retired....He mentioned that he has only five more panhard rod kits left. I could tell Jim was emotional saying goodbye to the RX-7 community. I told him that we all would miss his presence but that we wished him the very best in his retirement and new marriage.,,,
