Hi Guy's,
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.

Hi Guy's,
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

Shame if I was in Vic you could of had my car.

dc_todd · 28-09-2015, 11:05 AM

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.

If you need a car and can't find one in Vic, I'll volunteer my TS50.

Are we looking on this side of Christmas?

FTW-302 · 28-09-2015, 11:50 AM

More than happy to offer up my car for the R&D, I'm located in Vic.

Hey LPGUTE,
Design is pretty much finished, so just confirming some travels and we will have the first tuning set soon for the AU.
Cheers

Hey Polyal,
I am a little surprised so many people are after rear shocks for the AU. We will transform the IRS and work hard to get the same Shockworks handling like in the BA-FG's

Cheers

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

Shockworks · 29-10-2015, 12:23 PM

First design of the AU rear adjustable damper. Cad team completed the drawings and first build for test car will start next week.

LPGUTE · 07-11-2015, 09:21 AM

looks good, can't wait to get my hand on it once it ready

Ride · 08-11-2015, 08:54 AM

I know what I'm buying myself for Christmas!

dc_todd · 09-11-2015, 03:24 PM

if testing goes as planned, will these be released by or before christmas?

DartAUxr8 · 09-11-2015, 03:54 PM

looking great
might try a pair of these on the XR when available.

dc_todd · 22-11-2015, 11:26 AM

Hey Todd,
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

mcfly94 · 25-11-2015, 11:26 PM

Think my rear shock top mounts are gone so i might grab some rears even though its got new springs and shocks in the back!

Shockworks · 08-12-2015, 02:51 PM

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

Shockworks · 17-12-2015, 12:01 PM

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

Ride · 17-12-2015, 12:16 PM

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?

LPGUTE · 17-12-2015, 07:56 PM

yes yes yes, how much?

Shockworks · 18-12-2015, 08:39 AM

The rear has alloy top mount and base height adjustment and also 12 stages of damping.
Cheers

dc_todd · 18-12-2015, 11:29 PM

mcfly94 · 25-12-2015, 12:43 PM
