Haven't seen any aftermarket options. Is anyone working on any? Any word on when we'll get some? My non-pp setup is poop.

I can't wait for the Koni sports. Even the PP shocks aren't getting the job done. Their web site says they are in development.

So BMR is coming out with shocks this week?
I will be offering Aluminum Bodied Double Adjustable Rear Shocks from Viking Performance this week.

They are not a BMR part, but I did assist Viking with the development of these particular 2015 S550 specific shocks.

http://vi-king.com/

There will be the "Warrior" option, that is for most....and will retail at $199.95/each.

For 700+HP cars, there will be the "Crusader" option, which will retail for $274.95 each. (these are the shocks I have on my 2015 GT)

These shocks are not overwhelmingly popular in the handling scene. They are more popular in the street/strip/daily driver world....BUT, they are definitely a good option for those who install lowering springs, and need that extra valving. They will outperform a stock shock on a road/autoX course any day of the week. Even on stock spring car, they make a world of difference.

I have also assisted them with the development of their rear coilover kit, and that should be available in a month or two.

Ehh.. Can't say I'm too interested then unfortunately. I'm all about tearing up backroads, so handling is the only reason for shocks. Are you guys working on anything focused on handling specifically?

Sorry for sounding like a broken record Kelley but when are they going to make some sweet DA front struts already???!! :clap2:

Don't let the fact that they are popular with drag racers discourage you, they are effing fantastic on the street and hitting corners. They give up absolutely nothing to dampers geared towards handling other than products that cost much much more.

^ BMR Everywhere! ;)

Yeah, I agree with ya.

But I can definitely see other's views on the topic.

I will be using the Double Adjustable Viking Kit on my 2015, F and R....and we will likely use either the Koni Yellow, or Bilstein Dampers on our handling PP car.

Our Koni rep was just here last week, and we discussed the 2015 stuff. He said they were making head way, but its a rigorous process and that it would be atleast 6 more months before anything pops up.

I am sure you will see posts by myself on here as soon as we get our hands on some Koni's or Bilsteins for our PP car.

There's already Konis that can work with our platform with VERY slight modification. Z06 units I believe...

6 months :( I feel like someone just pissed in my Wheaties. Maybe I can freeze myself until then.
