ok =) they are pretty intense. the super camber ones are just shortened with allowed clearances. the auto-x pieces are super secret till i can test off the street a bit more. a professor and i designed them last year after taking at least 50 measurements and plotting the factory piece onto the image generator and designing the new piece in solidworks. took 25 hours to get them made. that is only including the mathmatics and science of them. only 1 hour of testing was done. they should be done and ready and tested by spring.

LMK if you need someone to test them on track. I'll be heading down to CMP in November for a track event hopefully.

The testing i need to do is more of how well they hold adjustment. all the strengths have been tested thoroughly on the computer, and for the hour i had it on vehicle on a closed course. there may be a market for these if i get them exactly as i want them

These are not my daily wheels

they are simply to prove that the rediculous trend of phase2 guys is nothing major and they do not have the "i am the most extreme" game in the bag. i can play too

Well, on track I had the Skunk2 units Kris has fail on me. One of the adjustment screws came loose and it caused me to kill my tires on the ride back home as I was toed way the fuck out. I could have done some stuff to fix that, but instead I figured for ease of use, I'd just go back to stock and flip them around for added caster.

The handling is so wonderful with the added caster. I'm sure some of the ITR guys would be interested in what you're working on.

i did the same thing on my other coupe as far as the flip.

these units are tubular and have spherical bearings for the inner pivots and i am using s2 ball joints directly bolted to the arm(no camber adjustment there, no slipping) they are very beefy looking yet the tubing is thin walled as the stress on the tubing itself is no where near the fail point of the material. both front and rear of the struts have adjustments with 2 jam nuts as well as set screws on side 1 and 4 of the nuts(accross from eachother, 2 per nut) they are made for serious track use
