Are adjustable Coil-Overs the Answer?

[tyoneal]

Yes, this morning I made the call. Kyle was very nice and knowledgable. I am glad I have decided to go the coil over route.

Conversation quickly turned to the new sub-frame unit. It seems that it will be a "True" Coil over type. From what I understand:

Same wheels and tires as a Viper (Sweet)
Front 18X10, 275 up to 295 size tire
Rear 18X12, 335
Power Rack and Pinion, 13 to 1
SBC and BBC

Evidently it is set up to have a comfortable ride mated with great handling.

Stuart, Troye, Tony, Scott, Steve, thanks a lot for your help.

Damn True, Don't know if it is just attention you want, or, if you are just a guy with a problem. You obviously aren't a dummy, unless you get more out of irritating people than you do lending a hand, but if you fall in the latter, I hope get it back 300% from all these people you go out of your way to piss off. Go get a life or better yet, a therapist.

Sincerely,

tyoneal

Wow, I'm one of two people who contributed anything more than "call DSE " and I'm the bad guy.

Awesome.

If you wanted brand specific leg humping and not information you should have said so from the outset.

As for "going out of my way to piss people off" you pal. What I did was go out of my way to give you a bit of information about shock terminology so you could avoid sounding like a goon if you did make some calls, and ya know a bit of actual information about your project would have been helpfull to that end.

Whatever.

Sorry, pet peve.

Peeve since we are getting technical.

Damn True, Ty was asking the board a question and I take offense to your comments to leg humping and that I told him to call DSE for some suspension info. for a 69 Camaro. For questions regarding a 69 camaro I feel Kyle is VERY qualified to give non - partial real world facts. I have dealt with DSE on many occasions and you will get straight forward ( not the Bullshi-, that you posted) info. There are other fine companies that could help, but in my opinion I felt Ty would benefit from talking to him. He can obviously listen and make his own decisions from there.

Your posts on the topic were ridiculous and emberassing. Brand humping, no not here, but we can see the BS through the keyboard and that is were you run king.

Stuart-

Thanks for the good leads. You and the other people on this forum have been a delight to converse with.

"Damn True", if you live anywhere near Dallas, Texas, let's meet. I'll give you and your ..... (deleted by Mod)

BTW: Despite how I feel about you as a person now, based on your behavior on this forum, I do appreciate, respect, and Thank You, for your service to our County, that speaks well of you.

Stuart,
Here's the thing, Ive spent the last seventeen years working with all manner of linear dampers and actuators. Everything from hydraulic and electro-servo aircraft flight controls, aircraft shock struts, robotics, stepper motor driven lead screws, ultra-high end speed sensative dampers and position sensative dampers, and pneumatic actuators and dampers. In that seveteen years of experience I have learned nothing that would equip me to question your knowledge of the human eye. Therefore I would never think to question anything you have to say on the matter. Know what I mean?

Tyoneal's question was very vague and left a lot of information open to conjecture. Additionaly, he admitted that he had very little experience dealing with the matter. Therefore my response was equally general and intended to equip him with enough information to ask a more specific question either of me, or of someone the likes of the folks at DSE.

Was I BS'ing? Certainly not. Greater detail would have been superflous and potentially misleading given the fact that Tyoneal gave no specifics as to his application.
Was I a bit of a smart-a$$? Well, yeah. But that's just my unique (for better or worse) personality.


Let me just say, that I have nothing but respect for Kyle and Stacy. Fine folks, fine products. In fact I have about 8 boxes of their stuff sitting in wait for installation. That said, they are not always the right solution for every problem. As such I find it amusing that some view them as the ONLY source of information regarding PT type vehicles.

Damn True, no personal hard feelings here. I told Ty to call DSE because the answers posted to his question were not answering the question, if ya know what I mean, so instead of keeping the thing going, I told him to call Kyle. Not because of leg humping, I know Kyle would give him info.(generalized - not product specific or brand specific) that he could then move on to purchasing parts from whoever.

Like you said the question was vague and broad, Kyle would give him generalized nfo. to go on from there. I never said buy this or that from whoever.

Lets move on and remember the cars bring us together but the people make it special.
