FCM Elite Consultation

You’ve done the homework. Now let’s design the Project.

This form gives me the information I need to make your 30-minute, $150 consultation useful. The consultation is where we turn the Framework into vehicle-specific decisions and establish the path forward.

Review the FCM Elite process & pricing I only have a brief eligibility question

Before you submit

Arrive prepared so we can spend the call designing.

Read the FCM Elite process and pricing. Understand what FCM develops, what supporting hardware may be needed, and which parts of the vehicle remain your or your installer’s responsibility.
Do the basic shopping research. If your Project may require dampers or coilovers, springs, mounts, camber plates, sway bars, or related hardware, check current pricing and availability for the components you are considering.
Gather the vehicle information you already have. Corner weights or operating loads, current spring rates, sway bars, ride height, tire sizes, suspension hardware, intended use, and the behavior you want improved are all useful.

The consultation is where we make application-specific design decisions after that groundwork is in place.
