Default DSR Motorsports new suspension sponsor!

Danny Smith Racing is proud to anounce Progress Technolgy as the new suspension sponsor for 2010. The new suspension includes custom valving and spring rates built specifically for the car. We will be working together throughout the year to insure the car gets dialed in and runs at the top of the Outlaw FWD class. Big thanks to the guys at Progress! I look foward to working with you guys!

i think the rear shock may be a little "modular" it may fit other things.

i have had progress on my car since 06.

ed and joey are great guys!

Just a question.... Why would you use a suspension that is limited in adjustment? The only way you adjust them is via revalving them, correct?

It's good for when you have the car dialed in, but that takes a while and lots of adjustments.

Either way, congrats on the sponsor, Danny!

I've never had to touch the stuff nor have I wanted too. They know more than I do and if I had some sort of 32 way adjustable shocks I'd be screwed haha I think Don Schumacher, I mean Danny Smith probably feels the same to have gone with them too

Bisi runs the stuff and he's right there with all the other guys

I was using the Omins that have no seperate bound and rebound. Also, you have no options on changes. The guys at Progress really know their stuff. They take the corner weights from the car, consider the application and get them pretty close from the get go. With their knowledge and my input, it won't take long to get them dialed in.

I understand that, but to "dial" them in you must send them back which = downtime....

Your car is back together Danny?
