We were thinking of using these also, surely someone must have a drawing?

sorry for dragging up an old topic, but how do people find these shocks? i was thinking of using them but am concerned by the whole pro-pedal technology which isnt good for fsae cars.

we had a set for our 2003 car! when one of our guys was doing the shocks last year, he had the fox shocks tested! and they are nothing even close to being the same! they are great for mountain bikes, as you do not need matched pairs! but on a car thats another matter.

we now are using penske shocks (couldnt tell you exactly what theyt are tho!)

it cant be that hard to do a quick cad model of one?? you need not bother with the internals.

hey Rob,

i just had a look at your website and phoned SPA, how did you find the penske 7800s? i know they're not adjustable but are lighter and smaller, any idea how much you paid (if you dont mind me asking)? on another note, i looked at the pics of your 05 car, looks like we're heading in a similar direction at the backend, didnt get a chance to see your car at the comp (spent the whole time in the pits). how are your rear lower wishbone front pickups attached to the chassis? sorry for all the questions,

cheers

not a problen psyc,

we had a final year project donme on the shocks last year and the guy who did it worked very closely with the uk importer of penske, not entirely sure exactly how much we paid for each one, but it was very reasonable.

the rear lower wishbone mounts are welded to the chassis, in an identicle way to the front wishbones, very simple and strong!

keep checking the website! its all change soon! http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

They are "fairly" consistant when we dynoed ours last year. I say that because compared to Risse which were really all over the place. Plus the adjustment for rebound and compression are independent unlike the Risse....

Pretty much the bottom line is Mountain bike shocks for formula carshttp://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Get some Ohlins on there and you'll be in business.

whats everyone elses experiences of the risse shocks? i was under the impression that because they're customised for fsae they'd all be the same (you'd think). we're seriously considering them because in all honesty they are exceptionally cheap compared to other manufacturers, i.e. ohlins, penske, koni, etc plus they're easier to package due to their small size
cheers

If you can, try to use a non mountain bike shock. Or at least show some development to a mountain bike shock to make it for for fsae.

I have a version of the vanilla shox, sans spring. I am not sure if they are exactly the same dimensions, but you can double check.
