Damn it Rafi !!!! Just take my money LOL. I am loving your parts, dedication to producing new and improved parts for the community, and your dedication to have them made in the US. Kind of refreshing. Super excited !!! Very cool that you went with Penske. They make serious products.
Now I have to figure out how to get the wife to ok this after the USRS, AO separator, new exhaust, and new set of wheels this year. My IRA is growing, but Im going through all my lunch money LOL.
RR Racing ROCKS !!
PS Rafi, did you need to roll those fenders when you dropped the car?? Again you are on a square 19x9.5 set up ,right? I promise I wont ask again but can you give me your offsets and tire sizes again. I ordering a set soon and want to get an idea. Thanks again buddy!!!!!!

You know, I have no problem hyping up this suspension or accepting your hard earned money, because it is that good, and we have worked really hard to keep the price in the reasonable range, especially considering what you are getting for your $$:-)
As for wheels, I run square setup, 275/30R19, 19x9.5 offset 40 all around, TSW Nurburgring. You need to roll the rears, which is easy to do. And you need to bend the tabs up on the front, and shave a bit from the front bumper mounting point.

Its funny you mentioned it, because I brought it up once with one of the Penske techs, and he assured me that it was absolutely not necessary for anything but the most hard-core race application.
Usually the main purpose of adding an external reservoir is to increase oil capacity or add independent compression & rebound adjustability. Penske 7500 series shocks have independent reservoirs internally that achieve this purpose. When we specs the shocks, we aimed for maximum length and oil capacity.
Some shocks, like rear application on a Honda S2000, are very short, and have very little oil capacity, and therefore benefit from an external reservoir... but not in our case.

I saw a couple pictures of your car after Larry went and got his exhaust hooked up, are you running 265/30 in the front and 275/30 rear?

I'll second that ^^^ thought! Thanks RRRacing for creating awesome products for the ISF! Your USRS bushings are truly phenomenal! I've got your A/O Separator on my list, and now you're coming out with an amazing suspension mod (that will most undoubtedly by on my must-have list)! Please keep doing what you do best, even if some of us complain about our dwindling bank accounts.

Here is a nice video of us putting the RR Racing/Penske coilover's to the test at NJMP. I would say we have them dialed in pretty good. Only thing that would make our car faster is a driver mod (me:-)

I have no problem sharing that wiith you, but its not really relevant for your setup, we run our own valving which will not relate to what you are running. Our development with Penske is unique to our application, and the Penske 7500 shcoks and springs are valved to our specs.
We also use 16/14 spring rates and modified front sway bar (stock rear bar), which is probably different compared to what you are running.
It would be great to have you at our Sept 12th NJMP Lexus track day!

Your commitment to the F platform makes me happy.

Nice to see the F still out there representing! The car looks like it's doing very well and I'm certainly glad to hear there are more improvements coming, especially something "affordable" with the suspension! I feel like my BC coilovers are starting to get old.
