Just wanted to hump laterl dynamics and wondered if anyone else went by their booth at sema? Mark, Matt, and Katz really shined at SEMA this year. Their suspension design met and exceeded all expectations of mine. They seemed to have a beyond satisfactory answer for any question I could come up with(which says a lot, compared to most suspension companies these days, cough cough)

As the first available aftermarket 3-link for the First Gen F body, it seems to be extremely well made and engineered, I don't think it will be topped anytime soon. I was a little dissapointed that their Front subframe wasn't on display though. I was wondering what kind of people were going to stop by their display(not many other companies like lat-d at sema, mostly bling) turns out there were a lot of people stopping by that were genuinely interested and really knew their stuff.

I guess I should give a mini-hump to the ATS team as they were in teh same tent, and had a good amount of new products that all looked top notch too.

BTW if anyone notices, I ALWAYS give vendors a hard time on this site, or anyone who blatantly posts advertisements. So if you see me doing it, you better bet it is for a reason. This company is definetly stepping up the game in the PT world
........hump off..........

Thanks guys. We were blown away by the response we got at SEMA, including really really good questions by most everybody that stopped by, some outstanding suggestions (some of which will be implemented within the next week or two), and some surprise visitors as well.

We knew we had a decent design and business model, but the show really validated things for us, and we'll be hitting our new designs (front ends and different platforms) with the confidence and inspiration that people really dig what we're doing. That's what it's about for us.

Stopping by the Lateral Dynamics booth along with the ATS booth out in the tent was suprisingly impressive!

Keep up the great work guys - it was a real pleasure "kickin it" with you!

Both booths were great. I finally got to meet everyone, even Katz. What a great guy. The three link set up was off the hook. I will be putting it on a future project. Katz would not suggest a good air bag set up to use with the three link though :dunno: LOL

Wow, thanks a million for the extra nice comments, guys. I can't tell you how much it means, we have been working really hard and had a ton of setbacks prior to the show. It probably wasn't nearly as hard as the thrash to get some of the cars ready, but a lot of things happened "just in time," and unfortunately, some things didn't make it. Overall, I could not be more pleased though, the response blew us all away.

We inked the deal on at least two project cars that will be getting some serious coverage, and potentially more. We didn't get the nod for one that I was really hoping for, it might still happen, but if not, it is still okay. Getting cars that will get some press time is great for us, no question, but what really fired me up was all of the individuals that came by and were really excited about their own personal projects, more than once we were told that the kit that they already purchased was going to be sold so that they could use ours instead, and THAT was really flattering. The opportunity to help these folks out in their own special projects, that they will put their heart and soul into, well, that's the main reason we are here.

I'd like to thank everyone that made it by to say hello, and for of the incredible suggestions on how we can improve things, it was terrific. Most of all, I'd like to thank Katz and Matt, for not only putting up with me, but kicking booty and making things happen. I am lucky to have a very special team, and I am super confident that you will see some more really incredible things coming from us very, very soon.

Nice to finally meet you in person Mark (and the other members of lateral dynamics).. Your 3-link impressed me.. in fact I think that I will get my 4-link as good as possible for the first story and then do an install story on your unit.

Katz is not only a hell of an engineer but he is a maniac on the go-cart track.. lol

Congratulations to you, Mat, and Katz. It was really great to see you guys again! You have a great product and it's sure to be a hit.
Let me know when your page is ready and I'll provide a link to it from my suspension page.

Aww man! Sweet! I have been wanting (and planning to make) a 3 link in the 69 for a long time! Where can I get info on the kit?

Matt@RFR

Thanks for the offer David! I'm sure we'd reciprocate.

Jimmy, since the website isn't up yet, you can ask any questions right here and either Mark or I will be happy to answer them as best we can. Feel free to PM either of us also.

Yessir it is. And I couldn't be happier. :) I finally have a boss that I don't want to strangle, working on things I enjoy.

I talked with Rick via emails today, but also wanted to add that we can't post the price of the kits until we become a site sponsor, which will be soon.
