    I decided to let go of the pair of OMP seats I purchased brand new in 1996. The intention was for a project race car that never came to fruition.

    They have continuously been stored in climate controlled areas. As you can see in the images they present in as new condition.

    Many of you know that the OMP vid was the foundation for the 348 Challenge seat. The consumer Vid has a different weave, it's carbon Kevlar as you can see in the photos, though the weave in composition of carbon vs Kevlar is fundamentally different from the 348 Challenge genuine seat as supplied by Ferrari in the 348 challenge conversion kits.

    The black material covering these seats is identical in every regard to the 348 Challenge seats with the exception of color and embroidery.

    In the 90s I built seven 348 Challenge cars, I'm very familiar with the detail differences.

    $4,500 for the pair, plus actual shipping costs, shipping from zip code 49009. Shipping insured, signature confirmation please.

    I can yes I am alive, thank you. Can we take this offline? I responded to you in the past. Your acusation of fraud is uncalled for. I have the emails I can look them up later today.

    I never threw out the word “fraud.” Check your emails. You haven’t responded to my refund request in a few years. You have not been reachable by phone or email by many.

    Hi Ken, I understand that by posting here (vs replying to email), you have decided to make our discussion and resolution of this matter public.
    I sent a long email early this morning to address your concerns and attempt to straighten out this matter and move forward, including an offer for a refund today.
    A few moments ago, I left you a voicemail at your business number.

    We agree, I used the word fraud.
    I have looked up the entire email thread and then composed a summary and an offer for refund email to you early this morning.

    That email landed in your inbox many hours ago.

    The only recent email I have received from you today is one word as a reply to the ancient email thread that says "bump." I don't understand "bump." This is a reply to my offer to make you whole, and I apologize for not replying in the last two years.

    I don't have a call log from you, but I have the old emails I did not reply to in 2023 and 2024. I am responding to your email today and calling and leaving voicemails to your business number today.

    I have no beef in this matter, but evidently, however distasteful it may appear, when people are not exactly kosher,

    it may be opportune to bring out issues in public, to dot the i's and cross the t's.

    I hope it settles out well, unlike mine, that it is still pending, and you know who you are.

    Regards, Alberto

    Had a nice chat with Rob. The matter is now cleared and I am satisfied with the solution. I wish Rob the best with his business. Still one of the most knowledgeable persons when it comes to suspension setups.

    Great outcome. Cheers! Nothing better could have happened.

    By the way, Rob's specialty in suspension setup ranges to which models, moderns only?

    Regards, Alberto

    Rob revalved my 550 Maranello suspension and it was transformative. I was very happy with the result and love that it retained the factory functionality of regular/sport settings.

    I really wanted to do an F355 setup through you but received no response, and then I heard a few other stories as well. My experience with you was great for my 550, so I hope everything is back to normal operation...as I would love to use your services again. I notice the website looks refreshed so hopefully the business is moving forward.

    hey Alberto, we're not limited to specific models as far as design is concerned.

    In regards to servicing and modifying the original equipment shock absorbers, almost all modern cars shocks are designed so they cannot be opened up.

    We can disassemble and service 348, Mondial T, 512TR, F50, 550, 456, F355, and F355 Challenge.

    Of the more modern chassis, only 360 Challenge and 430 Challenge ( because they use a Sachs Motorsport damper).

    Road cars with Sachs and Delphi magnetic ride shocks are crimped closed during the original construction and cannot be serviced.

    We can build custom applications. Please contact us for anything outside of the list above.
