Innovative Product
-Greater Fatigue Life5 to 10 times higher depending on composite matrix.
-Infinite Shape Memory
-Superior Dampening Characteristics
-Higher Impact Strength 3 to 6 times higher impact strength then steel, depending on composite matrix.
-Elimination of Harmonic Whipping
-Weight SavingsExample: F150 spring weights aprox. 55 lbs per spring. Our spring weights 12 lbs per spring! -Natural Dampening Properties of Composites creates a better ride.
-Non Corrosive
-Elimination of Inter-Leaf FrictionWhich creates a more active ride suspension.
