GREAT VIDEO Greg!
the key to any of the suspension choices is balance!
when you assemble the suspension you dont just shove big bars on and soft springs and its all golden.....balance.... what does the car weigh, control arm lengths, pivot points for arms and rear suspension links, wheel base, track width, caster, camber, ride height, spring preload, sway bar ratio's, pivot points from center line, Shock valving and the LIST goes on, but once you have all of that and you combine it to find the sweet spot for that car (here is were experience and knowledge help) you get a car that is easy to push to the limits and has the desired neutral effect,,,and now that you get that... you can lightly tweak the car for under or over-steer to help with each track you encounter
