I also wanted to ask John. How much will these "economical" versions affect the handling of the current Level II set-up?




Without testing, no way to know for sure. However, we have alot we've learned from all the testing, track time and street time we've done. So we're not just pulling parts and throwing them at it.

We know how shocks need to be valved, we know what spring rates to use, etc. Brakes, shocks and springs are easy places to get costs down, but still have good pieces that are matched to the application, not off the shelf. We can use cheaper springs, the rates are the same.

I can pretty much guarantee we have the best geometry (which we will not disclose) and contrary to what others may think our setup is by far the stiffest. On the rear nothing else is even remotely close. All the engineering will still be there and it will still be matched, dialed in components.

It's been a while since we reviewed our costs on all the other components as well. As we get volumes up, costs go down, so it's probably a good time to review that now as well.

We can defintely get the price down a noticeable amount going through the full exercise.
