Front Suspension Mod's

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Hello List - 

I wanted to get a quick gauge of interest in a bolt-on modification 
that would triangulate the attachment of the front suspension lower 
control arms. I know that some people have talked about a complete 
replacement of the lower control arm with some other configuration, 
and I think that there is merit to some of the ideas. However, I 
think that other people want to preserve the basic design, and simply 
add stabilization capability to it. For those of you who don't know, 
the arm is located fore/aft and held in place by the front sway bar 
attachment. This design allows some movement of the suspension under 
load, which can degrade handling. I have designed a simple bolt-on 
arrangement that I believe will add a great deal of stability to the 
existing arrangement, and I am working with a manufacturer to get an 
initial set of parts to install on my car for testing. If the design 
works out as I expect, and the cost can be kept to a minimum (I don't 
know what the figures would be yet) does anybody have an interest in 
this? The engineering people at the company would like to find out 
what the potential market could be, for pricing and availability 
purposes. I know that the information is very sketchy right now. My 
goal is to install the parts, and take some photo's to post on the 
list. As always - feedback is appreciated.
