AimRite Holdings Corporation Receives Project Vehicle from General Motors

    SAN DIEGO--May 19, 1999--AimRite Holdings Corporation is pleased to announce the arrival of the first of the project vehicles from General Motors . AimRite will be installing the COAST(tm) suspension control system on the GM vehicle at its new consolidated facility in San Diego, CA. AimRite is also building production COAST suspension control systems that will be installed on numerous other OEM vehicles. These production systems will cover a full range of automotive, truck & bus original equipment and after-market applications.
    In addition, AimRite will be meeting next week with one of the largest suppliers of automotive systems to original equipment manufacturers. The purpose of the visit will be to select a target vehicle for installation of a production COAST suspension control system for evaluation.
    COAST (Computer Optimized Adaptive Suspension Technology) is a revolutionary suspension control system that uses Variable Constant Force(tm) to achieve unparalleled ride luxury, safety and performance for virtually all automotive, truck, bus and RV applications. COAST accomplishes all this by eliminating conventional shocks and anti-sway bars and replacing them with simple, but patented and durable hydraulic suspension control units. The units incorporate extremely powerful and sophisticated patented software to make precision adjustments at each wheel 400 times per second. The result is an electronically controlled suspension system that can optimally control up to nine dynamic areas of suspension performance; including roll, pitch, body motions, wheel motions, and bottoming/topping out. We believe COAST is the most powerful and flexible suspension control system ever produced. And with little or no direct competition, COAST will be sought after well into the next millennium.
