Absorb Shock

- Suspension systems, by their very nature, allow movement. This is bad on something that needs to be solid. When the gantry is holding something, I don't want the arms to flex, bend, pivot, or do any of the things a suspension would do.

Shock Absorbing Wheels

Like many Audi models before it, the e-tron is fitted with a height adjustable air suspension. For those seeking to lower the car, this amounts largely to a software change. In most cases of an air suspended Audi, the aftermarket usually provides “piggyback” modules that adjust the suspension downward. Given the relative newness and untraditional nature of the e-tron, we weren’t aware of any options yet to be had. .

Xtreme Off Road Wheels

The spokes on a standard spoked wheel hold it in tension. If the spokes lose tension, they start to break and the rim will buckle. A Loopwheel is not held in tension by its springs therefore the rim is strong, double-walled, and less likely to suffer from buckling or fracture at the rim.

Loopwheels

Basically, the steering system allows the driver to guide the vehicle. The steering wheel is connected, via the steering column and a series of pivoted joints, to the suspension system. This allows the wheels to move up and down as required by the road surface without changing the steering angle. This system also ensures that the wheels turn as required, for example the inner front wheel (which has a tighter curve than the outer one) is more sharply angled when cornering. Like the suspension system, the steering system also requires precise adjustment, as any looseness in the joints can make the steering dangerous.

$800 on Amazon for C load 285's - so I was a little off. I was also assuming prices of shopping around, or else the SPC's would've been stated a bit higher. 03-15-2020, 11:32 PM #6 I think that is reasonable presuming the shop is decent. Also, don't forgot to add another 100 bucks for alignment when all said and done. Be certain the alignment tech is well versed on SPC UCAs. Ask the shop for a referral if you don't already have someone in mind. shrub1 View Public Profile Find More Posts by shrub1 03-17-2020, 12:25 AM #7 03-17-2020, 01:45 AM #8 2018 Super White SR5 Premium aka Ben Affleck: Bilstein 5100s (w/ 2" Toytech Superflex), 285/65/18 duratracs (E), 18x9 Volk TE37 // 2003 Black Limited (2UZFE) aka Blacky Chan: stock the_fornicator View Public Profile Find More Posts by the_fornicator 03-17-2020, 09:24 AM #9 That's $2890 without install. Install is easy and can be done in a day in the driveway with pretty basic tools and a jack and some stands. Just my .02, Find some local guys in the regional forum or even Tacoma guys on face book. Get to know them and see when they will do a mod day or invite them over to help in stall for food and beer. I've been to a few guys homes I've never met before except on forums to help install stuff just b/c I believe in what goes around comes around and if I were in that position I would really appreciate the help.

Grug556 View Public Profile Find More Posts by Grug556 03-17-2020, 09:13 PM #11 4K ain't bad if you can't do it yourself or don't have the tools. I spent 340.00 on Bilsteins, 800.00 mounted and balanced 285 KO's, 400.00 spc's, and 50.00 for 1.5 Daystars in the rear, then 17x9 Mamba's for 720.00 and alignment 90.00.......so just under $2600. I would save on the TRD wheels buying used. 83Mule View Public Profile Find More Posts by 83Mule 03-19-2020, 01:09 PM #12 $4K is reasonable depending on the quality of shocks/springs. Since you're not doing it yourself and the kit includes UCAs, this is not crazy expensive. Don't know a bunch about Bilsteins but you could probably find a better deal on them or use the money for something a little better quality.

Seem a bit higher, waiting for another shop to back to me. What do you guys think? Rather have a competent mechanic go at it. I don�t have the tools or space to do it myself.

    According to Pearce, one of the advantages of Loopwheels is the fact that unlike a suspension fork, they can absorb shocks delivered not just from underneath or above but also from the front (as might happen when running into a curb head-on). He also admits that many other inventors have come up with designs for wheels with tangential suspension over the past hundred years or so, although he believes that today’s modern materials will allow his to work where others have proved impractical.

    Generally, only very high-end wheelchairs have shock absorption built in, necessitating wheelchair-accessible entrances to buildings. “It’s difficult and painful to use a wheelchair to cross the street, with the chair’s rider feeling the strong impact of a chair going off the sidewalk and onto a curb,” said Barel. “With a SoftWheel-equipped chair, a wheelchair user can cross streets or go down steps without feeling the impact.”
    They’ve also developed a more bullet-proof wheelset with 25mm of shock travel called Fluent B designed for urban bike share programs. It includes a dynamo front and an internally geared rear hub. Lastly, the Fluent E is an e-bike version with 40mm of stroke and an integrated proprietary rear hub motor.

    It remains static on standard floors or smooth pavements but shifts to an active response mode when the wheel encounters obstacles. The wheel’s hub symmetrically expands or shrinks to absorb the transmitted shock.

Wheelchair Push Rim Tape

In a Globe story this February, reporter Eric Moskowitz noted that Boston fills approximately 19,000 potholes in an average winter, and that the city has gone as far as developing a new app, called Street Bump, that attempts to give drivers the ability to instantly notify City Hall when a new crater appears. And that's just the city of Boston. Do the math and consider how many gaping holes have appeared in the New England region after last winter's prodigious snowfall.

Yeah, I think that’s definitely a neat idea. Depends on how well it works, though. And how much it weighs. And how much it costs.
