Sure thing. I worked at/with a race shop that rebuilt Penskes, Konis, Ohlins etc. back in the 90's. The guy who ran it was a PhD mechanical engineer from MIT. He also made custom double adjustable bilsteins out of regular bilsteins, and from scratch. Amazing guy and I learned a lot from him. He would get calls from Chip Gannassi and folks like that.

We did R&D work for the military, on digitally-controlled active/semi-active suspensions and robotics stuff. Fun times.
