I would say for the race car, you choose with regard to all of those.
For a street car, how about :
18" Wheels
You choose the spindle. That is part of the magic, right? Anyway this seems to be an area of great debate lately.
Custom Chassis with the track width and wheel base i mentioned above. With these dimensions it should be close to alot of cars guys on this site are working on. Right or wrong I don't think in most cases it is cost effective to modify a stock chassis to the extent that some do. JMO
Front Engine. Hmmmmmm how to explain placement. For the street it would have to fit in an engine bay with in reason.
These are just suggestions on my part to keep this going. I am open to any suggestions. |
There ya go!
I'm sure a lot of guys that don't really understand what a street type suspension is made of will get some great info from this thread. I see a lot of guys setting up race suspensions that will, more than likely, never see the track. This thread can help them differentiate what is considered best for street and what is considered best for race or any mix thereof!
I would think that setting up a race suspension would be easier since most of the components and setups are pretty tried and true for the most part but seeing all these great race parts a lot of times many people get mesmerized by the allure of the part not realizing that for their application it would be better to use something more geared for the street.
I know I'll be reading posts from Matt, John and whoever else chimes in(Norm Peterson, Where are you?!?) VERY CAREFULLY and absorbing as much as I can.

BTW thanks for your advice on the fire suppresion system. I don't think I ever really thanked you for your advice!
