Default Wicked C10 Suspension now available!

Hey All, just wanted to draw everyone's attention- if you haven't already seen our C10 shop truck build, wanted to let you all know that our C10 frames are ready for purchase. While developing the suspension for this treuck we brought Ron Sutton on board and challenged him to optimize and push it to the max for the best geometry on the planet, or at least in the C10 truck realm to begin with.

All the pics are here on our build thread- Speedtech C10 build

Some features and benefits-
And now the most exciting news- how about the most advanced optimization of suspension geometry on the market. Trust us when we say hours and hours of time went into this suspension design. Yes it rides well. Yes it rides LOW. Yes it is high clearance to easily swallow 315s. And yes, with Ron Sutton on board as part of the design team, this suspension kicks! Quoting Ron-

 The ONLY chassis to come exclusively with the Next-Gen ATS spindle
 Industry first: Optimum roll center with any suspension strategy
 Roll Center achieves optimum location for low, mid & high travel
 Increased shock length providing more suspension travel
 Excellent for street, autocross & track days
 Virtually ZERO bump steer - .005” in standard full travel
 Bump steer kit available for competitors desiring additional bump out
 Up to 30 deg of steering angle
 Rack location & ATS Next-Gen spindle provide optimum Ackerman
 3-piece Chromoly tubular splined sway bar available in various rates
 It just doesn’t get ANY BETTER than this

and Ron speaking about the new "Next Gen" ATS spindle...

 We took the best forged aluminum spindle & made it better
 Better Geometry than ANY Corvette (or Corvette copy) spindle
 Reduced KPI/SAI angle
 Requires less caster to achieves optimum tire contact patch
 Significantly less scrub radius
 Maintains optimum tire grip with less backspaced wheels
 Still forged from 7075 aluminum
 Uses all brakes built for Corvette C6 spindles
 Comes standard with stronger ZR1 hubs & bearings
 Next-Gen steering arm provides increased Ackerman steering
 Achieves optimum tire slip-angles, increasing front tire grip
 Excellent for Autocross, Road Course & Street




Yeah baby!
