Ask for Matt.

I've got to recommend Ryan at Lithium/Suspension Solutions, too.  

And Brian Baker (Baker Race Gear), too.

Where are you located?

and to add to the mix:

Ed Kwaterski
Trackside Engineering

414-453-6720

Any of the above choices are excellent.  It's just a matter of your preference and the service after the sale (all of which will be fine).

It really depends on what you need from you suspension provider.

How much consultation you need after the revalving is complete?.?.

Where you are going to race or do track days? Which organization you are going to be with? etc.

I personally am going to be at virtually every Midwest NESBA track day with whatever CCS races I can fit in.

At MD Racing, We primarily use the PENSKE fork pistons and custom revalve your forks for each rider.

We also have access to the Penske 25mm pistons, which are available for some models.

We can install and revalve with Race Tech or Ohlins internals if you prefer.

The main rider I worked with last year racing was Expert Dan Doty. He won many races and a few class championships on his 03 R6.

I would perhaps research and find out which person has the expertise and knowledge along with after the sale commitment to get you what you expect from a suspension revalving.

MDR makes a very good point...

For me having my vendors at my events is very important...

Everyone does quality work, but if you at the track and need help with something, it doesn't hurt to do business with the vendors that will be at your events...

You may want to look at the events you will be doing, and which vendors will be there and also weight that into consideration...

I know Lithium/Suspension Solutions will be at all the MW and GP Events, so that is a big part why I go with them...

(I don't really like Rob that much, but Ryan is a cool guy  ;D ) j/k Rob

[tstruyk]

another vote here for Lithium!  They be hangin around the MW at some TD's too... Rob's got the schedule hashed out... I'll let him release it.

The support he's gonna have this year will be down right impressive!

National championship performance with an emphasis on competitiveness not based on one particular product.  From street bikes to expert road racers, from amateur lightweight racing to AMA Supersport wins.

The others are good opportunities for you, but I've had good luck with http://4and6.com

All good points. We know all the tuners mentioned, and I think we all get along well and respect each others work. Following up what Matt said, I do think you should check into multiple variables when choosing your suspension tuner. First, you want to find a tuner with experience in the discipline that you are looking for your suspension to perform in. All of the above mentioned tuners have that experience. You want to see where they are going to be and how available they will be to you to answer questions and assist you with setup from track to track. I know that we do the full Midwest and Great Plains regions of the CCS, some CRA, ASRA, and the Midwest and Heartland regions of Sportbike Track Time. We offer free setup and tuning advice and assistance to customers that we build suspension for. You should also look at what kind of training and resources your tuner has. We have been trained at Ohlins USA, and Traxxion Dynamics. We are a Ohlins Authorized service center and have extensive support in place from both Ohlins and Traxxion Dynamics. We stock a full range of valving and springs for Ohlins, Traxxion, Penske, Ktech, GP suspensions, and Elka products. We have a full suspension workshop trackside and can perform most of the services that we can perform in our shop right at the track. As an added bonus we are also stocking a full line of Ohlins shock springs for our Ohlins shock customers which we will use to swap spring rates from track to track if necessary or desired, all for free. I'm sure Matt, Jim, and Ed all have their own incentive programs as well. If you have any questions please feel free to contact either myself or Ryan at 712-546-7747.
