That was a stand up thing to do.

To be perfectly honest, if you are going to try to build your own IRS you will probably end up spending more time and money in the long run. (especially if you are paying someone to do it) I can't tell you the amount of hours that we spent in R&D and building the initial unit. Before we even began touching metal, there were months and months of time in front of a computer designing the geometry and getting the results that we set out after. Building the first one, or a 1-off unit will always take 100 times longer than a production unit (after the R&D phase is completed). If you do not spend the time in the R&D phase you will most likely end up with a product that will not perform as you initially intended. There is a lot more to a suspension than just purchasing several components (that were not engineered to work together) and making something out of them. Not trying to knock what you are doing by any means.

I appreciate your effort to not make it look like our IRS unit as well.

Good Luck,
Phil


CLASSY RESPONSE PHIL!!
