Has anyone seen or experienced this suspension set-up system?

Looks slick, but might be a bit much for one car... would be cool to do corner balance and alignment adjustments at the track and at home...

We now have set up wheels for both RSR and Cup cars with and with out wireless load cells with and with out digital camber guages built into each wheel that read to .05 drgrees
prices vary depending on build, $12K being the High end at this time we are on about a 1-2 week turn to deliver these anywhwere in the lower 49 the initial build took longer but not the case now going forward

pictures to follow to any intertested party

Actually , when you factor in all you get for your money, i hate saying it, its actually pretty reasonable.

for example, an MK tech alignment system is 4k. add in 3k or so for scales or more for better scales. then you need turn plates, roll offs, etc. you can get a quote for almost the samae monies for a really good platform system.

these things box up in 4 pelican transport boxes. theyare awesome looking, and you can be aligning the car in 15minutes. the scales are integrated into the units and the micro levelers are very cool as well.

most high end race teams are starting to use setup wheels almost exclusively.

Not debating they're value proposition, just they're appropriateness for a HDPE driver that sees the track less than 20 times/year! The system is truly very slick!

hear ya, but 20/year is a ton and to get a perfect, great alignment and to have the car running perfect with better and better laptimes, to use that downtime to make and try changes that improve the car...priceless. and this can fit in a small area of the trailer. my MK3800 pad system takes up 1/2 a car's space.

I could actually use this.

I have 3 porsches on an island with no indy or dealer. Would be nice to be able to do proper alignments and corner balance them in my shop....
The last 2 porsche i sent off the island to be aligned at the dealer came back worse.....

Would love to see how it all works and how friendly it is to use..

we've used MK tech stuff for a while. super nice . but big. takes up 1/2 a car's space in the trailer, and takes up that same space unde rthe awning and takes an hour to put out the bits/pieces and level it. takes 2 guys to roll the car up the ramps.
these setupwheels are sweet. basically 4 boxes that take up 1/4 the size of the platform. integrated scales. mark the ground, level the levelers. mark the ground again. move the levelers away, jack up the car bolt to the hubs. and put the car down on the levelers. no tire binding, super accurate, super simple. has built in toe plates.
super slick and amazing looking system. really neat stuff.

the intercomp and other products were very similar in price. these just had more finishing to them. neat product.

5-6k and I might bite and use in the garage and at the track. Have a hard time justifying $12k... If I was a shop that offered track support, might be a good way to support my customers at the track...

Excellently executed product, wish I had access when I worked for the race team- we used plywood wheels at the time lol!

Speak to Greg, hes a good guy and you never know if theres a deal in the offing.

Say Jay put you on to him

at 5k, there'd be a line for the pieces. just an MK rack, no scale, no nothing, is $4k. if i were a full team with so many different cars, id have a platform from MK since these are machined for your hubs. a bit more complicated to swtich around to different model cars if the hubs are different.
