Richard, thanks for your comments thus far in this thread.
I for one value multiple views into a particular subject. I believe I write for numerous other readers, most of whom have enjoyed this thread but like myself, may not have extensive experience in suspension tuning so we have for the most part stayed quiet. Your description of the benefits of a drop spindle makes sense to me.
For me, I have a less radical drop spindle setup in my Milano. I attribute my diminishing lap times to this simple mod to my torsion-bar'ed car. However, I have no doubt JJ's continued crooning over the "vastly superior, and technologically advanced, made of space-age material" offering from Ron Simons
(disclaimer: those are my words, not his
, although that was the spirit that I saw shine through in post 178) does indeed "fix" deficiencies present in the original design. I just haven't put my own money into a set to prove it to myself.
I'd like for you to please continue to share your thoughts and experience on the subjects discussed in this thread, as well as others on this board. We're a small community, so any nugget shared is valuable to everyone.
And JJ - you know we still love ya!
