Sorry for the delay with the IRS rear dampers for the AU but will be available in coming months. We are still just a very small team and have been flat out on the Mustang dampers and brakes. We will make a big effort to get these finished and out for the AU guy's soon! Again, we are sorry for dragging this out for so long. Cheers Brett |

Same, have a few track days lined up between now, Christmas and beyond. Really need to get end to end suspension sorted and this is the last piece of the puzzle.

It's been a very busy time with the design and development of the 2015 Mustang. We have the Ford IRS drawings done but I really want to replace the top mount which is proving difficult as it is quite large. I did not want to use the top OE bushes as they move way too much. We will have something to sell soon and then to find a car to tune the whole package. Again, sorry to all for the delay's as we are a small team. Cheers Brett |

Let me know if you need a set of top bushes, I have some complete rears with the top bush in good condition still attached.
I can get them to you Via east Coast suspension at Taren Point. |

To be fair, it's mostly come from the ravings of BA-FG owners and there not being a comparable product on the market for the AU. Nothing has been able to satisfy our needs in a coil over, we've had to settle for XYZ in coil overs or Koni/Bilsteins in non-coil overs

We just took delivery of the first two sets of the AU rear dampers. I will arrange to start tuning next week when I return from testing in Korea and have spring and damping forces set hopefully by the end of the week. Once the damper are installed and travels are all good, we will order a full batch, so at this stage we have the first tuning set and a spare set. After the tuning we will have both sets available. I will post some more photos and update on the tuning progress:-) Cheers Brett |

Hey Guy's,
Very excited to tell you we have a TE50 for the tuning of the AU rear dampers to complete our kits for the AU Falcon. A very kind customer has let us take his car for a few days and will be making several changes a day to get the best out of the AU IRS. I will be posting pictures of the tuning and damper assembly so stay tuned!!! Cheers Brett |

Hey Guy's,
Testing is now complete on the Ford AU Falcon with IRS. I am a little surprised how far we got with the tuning and huge thanks go to Tom for lending his car to us for a full week. This allowed us to do more fine tuning and refine the ride and handling further. \We have now made some orders and will have fully adjustable kits for the AU in the new year. Sorry to the guys who wanted these earlier but it will be worth the wait. ![]() The dampers and top mount are also 5.5 Kg. The OE rear dampers and huge top mount are 10Kg ![]() |

Oh hell yeah! More comfort, better handling and weight reduction!
I don't have any circuit events until Feb so I can hold tight until then. Are you able to share pricing at this stage? |
