Re: [DML] Front Suspension Mod's

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Ralf - You've got a pretty clear picture of the idea. I intend to 
leave the sway bar connection in place, but I will be paying close 
attention to any induced loads into the frame or the lower control 
arm itself. The "rigid connections" will be links that are 
adjustable for length, and feature spherical rod ends with a special 
low-friction liner similar to teflon, but able to withstand a much 
higher bearing stress than teflon. The company that makes this 
proprietary liner material has, in addition to many products in the 
aerospace industry, been involved in high-performance parts for car 
and boat racing. If the specific geometry of the front suspension of 
our beloved "D's" will allow the addition of these links without 
extremely high induced loads, I think that the handling performance 
gains will be noticeable. BTW - One of my desires in posting the way 
that I do is to try to get people to think, and to consider different 
ideas. I appreciate the fact that you are somewhat skeptical, and I 
welcome it. If all 1200 or so people that belong to the DML would 
think about even one little enhancement to the car, the results would 
be astounding. Keep up the good work!
