New struts for the 2010 SS showed up today.. these are serial number 1 and the only set on the planet..

Eventually they want to make it so you can use existing drop springs but the perches aren't out yet. If you notice the ride heigth is not set with the spring but with the body of the shock.

We will be installing them tomorrow at Global West (along with Penny's new shocks) and testing them Monday at the track with an engineer from Penske they are flying out.

Anyways, they are simply bad ass. Right now they are single adjustable but reservoirs can be added to the top to make them double adjustable and they can also be made three-way adjustable.

The quote from Penske "Well, you know this is the first and only set of these struts in existance.. that makes them sort of expensive"

Me: "Well, I'm sure the first 2010 Camaro was pretty expensive too"

Maybe Penske person will think twice before trying to sneak a batting practice fastball by the Ruppster, who also happens to be a professional writer...

Those are works of art. Too bad the Camaro doesn't have a lift kit, so we could enjoy looking at them once mounted.

Yea, it is a shame to hide them under the car.. clear fenders maybe? Maybe Scotty can whip us up some transparent aluminum fenders...

Install is done over at Global West Suspension.. We did need to make some changes to the rears for fitment, but then again that's why these are called prototypes.. :)

Fronts went on easy and the struts all all the right brackets in all the right places.

Testing tomorrow.. We have a bone stock SS there for comparison.

We had to make one revision to the rears, but after that they went right in. Ended up mounting the remote canister to the lower control arm. If we upgrade to a double adjustable it will be easy to get to the knob this way.
