[QUOTE="Tob, post: 13476602, member: 83412"] I don't think it even took two weeks for it to show up. I have been speaking with Ludger in Germany, an extremely sharp guy with Thyssenkrupp/Bilstein regarding how to get a stand alone system up and running. I was put in touch with Ludger via Marco here in the US. Both have been a [I]huge[/I] help in moving this project forward. So what I received was a development control module, very similar to the standard Bilstein "ridecontrol" module. Here it is next to the standard one I have showed previously. It wasn't etched, just a machined aluminum extrusion. [ATTACH=full]506054[/ATTACH] On the back, a sticker had been applied to note that it is different than all the other boxes... [ATTACH=full]506055[/ATTACH] ridecontrol modified SW: 25% Pulse Width Modulation/ 100 millisecond [B]fangzeit[/B] (literal translation is fishing...must be _____time) Internally the two look very similar. [ATTACH=full]506056[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506057[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506058[/ATTACH] The mapping of the circuit board [I]looks[/I] identical. The components [I]look[/I] to be the same. I'm assuming it was simply flashed differently but don't know for sure. The following notes were included... [ATTACH=full]506059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506060[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506061[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506062[/ATTACH] :) I now should have everything I needed from Bilstein. I'm going to acquire a few other pieces of hardware, maybe some MM caster/camber plates, upper rear shock bushings, etc, and then get started. I'm excited. This [I]should[/I] be available from Ford Racing but they have yet to indicate any interest in offering it. I'm going to speak to both FRPP and Bilstein at SEMA in November about it. Bilstein recently came out with some shock/strut hardware and software that allows for real time adjustment via your smartphone. As they put it... [url=http://www.bilstein.de/en-uk/products/sport-and-threaded-ride-high-adjustable-kits/bilstein-b16-irc/]BILSTEIN B16 iRC[/url] Some truly innovative stuff that should allow enough adjustment to make most anyone happy. I'll get started on this install when I have everything in hand. [/QUOTE]
