Steve, why did you choose the torque arm suspension? I know you mentioned ride quality, but what else, in your opinion will you be gaining or hope to gain from going that route? I know many of the guys here are very loyal to DSE, Lat Dynamics, etc. and feel that they are the best respectively, however I've learned from years of mostly drag racing that "best" doesn't necessarly fit all conditions and driver types. I've seen leaf spring cars at open car events across the country hammer the other setups, and vice versa. Driver and car setup is obviously a huge factor.
I was hoping Rupp was going to use the new BMR setup on Track Rat so we could see how that would actually work out since it is a mix of torque arm and watts link. Since you are using a similar (same?) setup and you actually use your car at the track and on the street, I am really curious about your choice and why. I have some friends who work or have worked with torque arm suspensions and swear by them for applications like yours (mine) but I haven't made the purshase yet. With SpeedTech and BMR coming out with these, I am anxious to see some testing and get opinions on them. Frank at Prodigy was going to be doing some testing with the SpeedTech setup at some point, but I am happy to see that you are going this route so that we can see your opinions also, if you are willing to share them.
Love your car and the products you offer, especially the new guage bezels.
Thanks Man.
Doug
