In a bold move, the team at Rob Dahm's garage decided to elevate their RX7 to new heights by integrating Indie Car shocks into the mix. With custom titanium adapters boasting M13 1.0 threads, this modification promises unparalleled performance. The TTX ILX Series shock takes things up a notch by incorporating the canister directly into the shock's vertical aspect, a feature derived straight from the world of Indie Car suspension. This innovation not only enhances adjustability but also sets a new standard for shock design in the RX7 realm.
Furthermore, the addition of Swift 20K springs and Bridgestone's top-notch R71 RS tires ensures peak performance on both dry and wet terrains, a crucial factor for upcoming challenges like Pikes Peak. The meticulous attention to detail in adjusting the shocks for optimal ride height and performance showcases a commitment to pushing boundaries in the automotive world. By fine-tuning the shock's travel length and spring rates, the team aims to achieve the perfect balance between comfort and performance, a delicate dance that separates the good from the great in the realm of automotive engineering.
Moreover, the team's focus on tightening bushings at ride height highlights a nuanced understanding of suspension dynamics, ensuring that every aspect of the RX7's setup is optimized for maximum efficiency. The addition of custom caps with threaded titanium further exemplifies the team's dedication to precision and excellence in their craft. As they continue to refine and perfect the shocks for the RX7, one thing is clear: Rob Dahm's garage is not just chasing performance; they are redefining what's possible in the world of automotive customization.
