For the record, I would be down for a group buy with the suspension bits.
lol I decided to go with those, then everything else from the TC front lol. Money just flies away when you start upping the anti on parts.

I'm starting to realize that now. I also know there will be a lot of eyes on what I'm doing so I want to get it right the first time. I've spent over 5 grand on the car in the last few months and it hasn't even been touched since the engines out.

I get all the early IRL stuff confused, but if youve got a real early IRL with the stamped steel arms youll need to get alloy arms(complete bolt-in arms will be available as well as press in joints) If youve already got 2nd design suspension with alloy arms all youll need is joints

you and me both. i am extremely glad that Powell RaceShop and OTTP have teamed up, the few new products that have been released from this partnership have helped to advance the cobalt community more than most of the things out there. These are quality, race proven peices, re-designed for our use on the street, and it would be great if other vendors could use this example to get the parts we really NEED.

Agree.

May be someone can look into developing a controller so the driver can dial in the ESC's yaw rate on the fly? LOL.

no pricing yet, these are one of the prototype sets

they help keep control under hard braking and cornering by eliminating flex and shifting of the stock rubber peices. Maven or Qwik will slide in here and quote each other's posts or just give you a succinct explanation, but they also increase road feel, and feedback, and as a side effect, aid in the reduction of wheelhop to a certain degree.

or read the first post... lol
