GOTO:Racing Now Offering High End Shock Absorbers
GOTO:Racing has now become a DMS factory authorized dealer. Using our experience from running the DMS 50mm Giant Strut on our USTCC Subaru WRX, and a very successful debut of the 50mm application on three Honda Challenge cars, GOTO:Racing will now be selling DMS Shocks for all makes and models.
Drummond Motor Sport offers their 50mm Giant Strut for many racing applications from Rally to Road Racing to Drag (not yet officially launched but for sale). Teams have competed successfully using this application in many professional series including USTCC, Speed World Challenge, Australian V8 Super Car, WRC, British Touring Car, and NHRA. DMS are a competitive alternative to Ohlinds, Motons, and Penske.
For the street tuner, DMS offers their 40mm Gold line of shocks. These shocks are an affordable alternative to the 50mm for those who drive their car to the track, and still need a daily driver setup. However they still have DMS's unique progressive valving and progressive spring technology which offers amazing road compliance and smooth ride without sacrificing performance.
GOTO:Racing is offering an initial sale on all 50mm applications. We will be offering free shipping on any 50mm application. Front and rear top mounts can be included on all Subaru, Mitsubishi, and Honda applications.
DMS Shocks are quickely proving themselves in the Honda arena, taking the Norcal H4 Championship, and first place in the US Air Force 25 Hours of Thunderhill.
DMS will also be releasing shortly, 3, 4, and 5 way adjustable systems in the very near future.

Re: GOTO:Racing Now Offering High End Shock Absorbers (GOTO:Racing)
I forgot to mention that GOTO:Racing is available at most WCHC races for setup help on DMS setups. Because of the progessive rate spring and valving of these shocks, there are alternatives to the conventional Honda setups (super stiff rear).

The PDQ Motorsports Civic did indeed run these shocks @ the 2005 25 Hours of Thunderhill. The shocks worked extremely well & we know they helped us gain a competitve advantage over the competition allowing us to repeat as the E2 class winners.

Stay away from the 40s. They're pure crap. The 50s are decent... but there's better options out there.
Reason I don't like the 40s? I had them... and a whole bunch of things that went wrong between DMS and myself:
1) told me I had to service the 'street' shocks as if they were rally shocks (wasn't toild this when they were sold... and not many dealers even know about that to this day)
2) trying to get warranty service on them was a matter of me paying to have them warrantied when there was a KNOWN stiction issue on the struts.
3) then... they decided to refuse warranty on them because I autocrossed them. (When they failed to grasp what autocross actually was... they thought it was what we call rally-x).
The solution? Have them shipped to Canada on my dime (Lachute Subaru), pay for what was a warranty repair and any necessary parts, and pay to have them shipped back... I still have them. Paid $1600 for them new. Used one year. Rusted away in 7 months. Yes.. DMS STRUTS WILL RUST within the 1st year.. badly.
This is not to say the 50s (tarmac or rally) are a good shock.. they are. It's the street 40s you have to be wary of. There are many that got 'shafted' by DMS in 2002, 2003 that still harbor bad feelings about them.
(And now Mike Lock started a thread in motorsports trying to sell them for Brian.... think we're idiots or something?)

I am sorry that you have had problems with DMS in the past. However it was in the past, 3-4 years ago by your own admition. Since then DMS has made many improvements both in product and in customer service.
DMS North America has since moved out of Lachute Subaru and is an independent business. DMS has also setup service facilities and dealers in more convenient locations. One of which, is us, GOTO:Racing.
Most servicing can be done in California, so there is no longer a need for freight charges to Canada. Also, Honda shocks are not the strut type that you had problems with with your Subaru. They are not inverted and do not need to be rebuilt for at least 3-4 racing seasons.
GOTO:Racing has been fully factory trained and can answer any questions you all might have dealing with servicing. We also have used them in a professional series for the past year and a half, and can offer knowledgable setup advice. We worked directly with the DMS North America representative and all service and setup training.
Thanks,
Brian
