It worked, but think of how much quicker it might have been using todays suspension technology!![/QUOTE]


What I got out of what the guy said, that I think might apply to a HEAVY (over 4000lbs) Stocker is that IF you are getting 100% traction without a super loose front suspension and fancy rear suspension pieces, then you will not go any quicker by using these other parts and methods.

I am thinking that one of these HEAVY cars, especially a wagon, will have enuff weight on the rear tires to get max traction with only stiff bushings, springs, shocks and air bags.

But hey, I could be wrong. If so, it won't be the 1st time.

The only reason NOT to go with the latest and greatest is $$. If you have the coins to spend, by all means, by the best of everything. But I'm talking about what you can get by with for a very low budget build.
