I work at Roush

[EATONU]

So I just moved to Northville, Michigan. Im workin at Roush building the stangs and new F-150's i was just curious if anyone lives in the Detroit area,
Who would be intrested in meeting up in the spring and what not, try and get a lightning storm goin on...... Alright so that was a bad joke, but Reply is you are near the D :coolman:


If anyone has any question, ive got a lot of engineers that i work with who were a part of the development of the lightning. So knowledge is on tap :read:


Thanks

Can you ask the engineers why they decided on a caged pulley that weighs 10x what a machined pulley does? Maybe this will answer the age old argument of caged vs un caged pulley set-ups...

Lowering kits are needed! I'd be up for one too.

 

[Floridalawdog]

Me too. Bring back the lowering kit.

yup.. heard nothing but good things about the Roush kit.. dont know why they dropped it..

I myself have been doing some digging about this suspension, It actually had nothing to do with Roush production, but was actually was sub-contracted through Hotchkis, which still makes all our suspension for the new style F-150 builds.
Which while on that topic the supercharged trucks we build now still use the caged setup...... I think i heard some mention about the cage almost acts like a damper against chatter from the s/c vise versa. But i have a 4 lb. on my lightning, i dont feel any vibration difference at all, just power.

I will talk to the production manager about some more kits, see if hotchkis has more in storage.... It is a very nice kit, the ride is perfect on the 05+ installs

In the words of Artie Johnson "Verrrry Interesting"
The Roush suspension was made by Hotchkis. So was it a higher spring rate as many of us suspected?

Roush made lowering kits? :-D JK
