eliminating all that rubber can sound so quiet (quieter than my car with upper links only) and still ride smooth. I drooled while driving last night - it was funny. Never took those onramps faster than I did too - and try this - ok, maybe not. Slam the brakes hard while negotiating a turn at speed, then ram the gas pedal - no wobbling, drifting, understeer or over - just very controlled manuevers. There's just something that makes it stick like glue - I'm impressed. Sorry just had to share ;P

Default It's not for public consumption sorry, but just trying to break them loose to see if

any movement can be measured. We'll take it to a a couple of local autoX also. It's being made for a few race teams in Canada and East Coast.

BTW, they'll outlast the ball joints, and oh yeah, those crappy rubber "control arm" problems.

And you finally get to feel the linear rate springs too

Default No, it has prototype suspension. Various springs are being provided also...

don't know how it happens now, but lately sponsors are just calling him up to give him stuff. I am jealous! I use to proofread his proposals.

The funny thing is a few speaker companies came up too lol.
