We've rolled out a couple of new products this year at SEMA.

Not the least of which is the new Select Series Electronic Shocks.

We've been hard at work on these for well over a year, and it is great to get this "secret" out. For icing on the cake... we picked up a SEMA new product award on Tuesday.

Most people are familiar with OEM shock systems with a "sport-mode" or similar switch on the dash, well now we are the exclusive outlet for that technology in the aftermarket.

We didn't just copy the OEM guys stuff, we've been hard at work getting the valve adjustments appropriate for our market.

We can't wait to start getting these products out into the market.

There videos and the typical coverage starting to pop up on the web. The folks at Street Legal TV are one of the first. They talked to Britt, who was very instrumental in the development of the Select Series and you can see the interview here:

The Select Series will be ready to ship very soon. And yes they will work with the e2 or e3 system. In fact, they will work with no air system controller at all... in coil-spring applications.

Finishing development of the shock for the SEMA show was priority so I've not invested a whole lot of time into the coil overs. However, we had great discussions with spring manufacturers at the show and we plan on shipping units the first of the year.

I tooo want a set of coil overs will a set come with all the needed wires and button to make it work?

Sugested price for a set of 4 would be?

Would the first of the year be january, March or May?

Does this mean they are available with internal ride height sensors? The IR units?

Thanks, Wes

Real quick...

1. The Select shocks should ship in January.

2. The price will be $900/pair for the stand-alone version and $1200/pair for the ShockWave version. The coilover version will be somewhere in between. This price will include the button and wiring harness.

3. Coilovers should be available by Mar. 1.

By the beginning of summer [or before] we will have a coilover version of all our ShockWave units. Pricing will be in the same neighborhood as the ShockWaves...possibly slightly less.
The advantage of hte coilover version will be avoiding the cost of the compressor kit. The compromise will be the lack of spring rate and ride height adjustablility.

Why expand into coilovers? With the Select shock we now have something completely unique and better.

I'll make more info available as I can. You'll see it here FIRST!

Just a thought...might not be feasable....have you considered a steering wheel mounted version of the button using wireless technology to operate the shock valving? It would be very convenient to have the operating botton located under your thumb with both hands on the wheel.
Great product, by the way. Well done.
