I'd highly recommend RaceChrono. I've had zero issues when used with my XGPS160 GPS transponder and Bluetooth OBD II reader. I'm not sure if it's available on iPhone, though. My phone is Nexus 6 (Android). Well, I've heard iPhones have compatibility issues with BT OBD II readers, too; that sucks.

That's the GPS I have, it just wasn't staying synced this time. Worked perfectly at RPM though...

Howdy,

I'm Ryan, Penske Racing Shocks Design Engineer. As you've undoubtedly heard from Justin, we're sending replacement clevises free of charge.

You received a design that was changed due to Pratt & Miller requirements and obviously won't work with your setup.

Sick build though.

If anyone has any questions fire away in Justin's thread.

Pratt & Miller wanted a thicker clevis for racing applications????

I love handling brand new pads, tires, etc. A weird obsession I have developed over the years...

I also do have sets of ST47s and ST45s, and looking forward to trying them out. The StopTech BBK goes through pads considerably slower than the SS Brembos, so I'm still waiting to finish up my ST43s.

What OBD2 interface are you running? I see so many on Amazon, I'm looking for one with Bluetooth to work with my Android and GoPro Hero 4 Silver. Thanks!

I have the OBDLink MX Bluetooth version and it works good with my android. It's available on amazon, but if you want to see details in it here is the manufacturer link.

With the Z/28 wheels and 305 Trofeo R tires, at full negative camber the tire comes very close to the endlink mount on the strut (within a few mm). I can move the endlink mount down and out of the way (closer to the clevis), but would require an endlink that is about 1-2 inches shorter than stock. If such a thing isn't available, I may have the endlinks cut to the optimal size and welded back together.

The picture shows full negative camber - you can't tell from that angle, but the lower coil mount easily clears.
Glad they got that worked out for you. Those coilovers are amazing pieces and I have no doubt they perform great! They sure are expensive though. JPSS end links might allow you to move the end link mount down enough. Maybe Pete will chime in.

Yeah I was skeptical of the strength also, but if they have lots of experience doing it sounds like it shouldn't be an issue. Definitely the most cost effective solution.
