That is SWEET... visually anyways! Tough to make a call without hard numbers.

I wonder how the torsional / longitudanal stiffness numbers compare with a stock chassis, along with weight. It looks like it would be stiffer than the factory piece, and I like the front shock hoops and crossbar to fight frame "sag" under hard loads up front.

Also, I wonder how the suspension geometry is... the front looks like it will have a very aggressive negative camber gain on compression judging by the UCA angle, however scrub radius doesn't look too hot judging by where the balljoints sit in relation to the wheel. I was hoping for a 3-link out back but the 4-bar if done right would work very well. It might be time for a phone call and ask for the numbers-- roll centers, camber/bumpsteer, FVSA, etc, and last but not least, price...
