A concern I saw was the support for the Lower control arm. Or maybe the lack there of......with all you will be putting this car thru do you think the UCA and LCAs need more support? Rear and Front mount

Also maybe the upper control arm and spring mount. Maybe add some vertical Chro Moly plates or struts to support the tube.
My suspension systems, particularly the 70-81 platform have more wheel to wheel road racing, etc then any other out there. I am not sure how much more you think it needs, but it seems to be holding up just fine. Topping that with a well thought out and computer designed susp and steering geometry,plus 4 years of wheel to wheel racing, plenty of curb beatings from watkins glen, to vir to njmp, limerock etc. No failures etc. Oh ya throw in a podium at the Nasa national championships as well.


I am sure plenty of things in a certain package can be made differently, or improved, but thus far there is no needing to change anything. Our Jrs 2nd gen runs as fast as Ta2 cars wherever we go.
