GB: SakeBomb Garage FPSpec Long-Stroke Ohlins DFV
Hey guys, wondering if there's any interest in putting together a group buy before the official launch of our new FPSpec (custom) DFV's. As you've probably seen on a number of build threads and around the forum, these are custom Ohlins DFV's we build from the ground up (we purchase raw threaded DFV shock bodies in longer lengths from Sweden, apply custom SBG race-winning valving curves, custom valving rates, springs etc. Details below).
All SakeBomb Garage FPSpec DFV's include:
-Custom SBG Exclusive Ohlins Long-Stroke DFV Damper Bodies (longer than stock)
-SBG Fully Floating Top Hats (maintains perfect alignment between chassis and suspension without imposing bending loads on the damper + perfect spring alignment to maintain consistent spring force)
-Optional Lower Spherical Mounts and Billet Rear Forks (for race applications)
-Custom Yellow Swift Main and Helper Springs (Ohlins Springs on Grand Touring kit)
-Custom SBG Designed Damper/Valving Curves
-Filled with 1304 Ohlins Race Shock Oil (buttery smooth compared to the generic shock oil in standard DFV's)
-Custom Spring rates per kit (long stroke shock travel allows for soft spring rates for street use - vanilla DFV's can only go down to 11kg rear due to lack of stroke - all the way up to 16kg+ for race applications WITH helper springs!)
-FPSoec High Torque Aluminum Spanner Wrenches Included!
-SBG Lifetime Chassis Consultation and Setup Service Included!
Website link with more info (actual product page coming... don't mind the place-holder pics for now and incomplete option sets).

BUMP for custom Ohlins if you want to see this happen... it's already happening. But we can run a group buy to kick off this *NEW PRODUCT*
FPSpec floating top hats and lower mounts available separately if you've already got Ohlins

10-15 people on board for a group buy. I think the list would fill up pretty quickly if there was enough people for a one-time introductory group buy. But this would just be for the introduction of the kit... we won't be doing multiple group buys on these, so it's a once and done sort of thing.

Springs come with the FPSpec Suspension kits. These are not revalved standard Ohlins kits, they are physically longer Ohlins DFV Shock bodies, which are valved with our valving curves for each order. We can do custom spring rate profiles for your tires/aero/sway bars/etc. For custom rate info please email us info@sakebombgarage.com
The FPSpec Long Stroke can run *SOFTER* than 11kg springs for Grand Touring rates (unlike the standard vanilla Ohlins which are too short to run under 11kg), OR can run higher race spring rates which require more stroke due to the need for helper springs. Helper Springs are required over 13kg, but we can also help pick up additional traction with helpers for track setups.
Lastly we have a race lower mount (spherical) OR the standard rubber Ohlins lower mount (which absorbs more high frequency road noise vs a spherical lower). All shocks come assembled, and INCLUDE floating top hats, and aluminum FPSpec high torque wrenches standard.
