Bring the Framework to your own builder.

FCM Essential Plus gives you vehicle-specific guidance while your chosen builder performs the damper work. Every Essential Plus Project begins with this form and a 30-minute, $150 consultation.

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

Arrive prepared so we can use the consult call efficiently.

Review the Ride Harmony and Race Synergy Framework. Essential Plus begins from the same system relationships described on the homepage.
Know the hardware you plan to use: damper or coilover make/model and any known spring rates, sway bar, ride height, bump stops, or mounting hardware.
Do basic pricing and availability research. You and your builder remain responsible for final assembly, installation, and any supporting hardware outside the FCM scope.

The consultation establishes your vehicle-specific direction, confirms the information I need, and determines whether your application is a good fit for Essential Plus or Essential Plus + Ripple Reducer.

Choose the level of FCM involvement that fits your Project.

Every Essential Plus Project begins with the required 30-minute, $150 consultation. The consultation confirms compatibility, scope, measurements, hardware needs, and the final Project path.
