I am LOLing...This is a great thread of all kinds of various items.

Dan the bottom line is your dollar will determine how fast you can go and how technical you want to be. Greg is 100% in relation to struts. They suck in every possible way and you will need to run high spring rates to make it work which in turn requires expensive shocks.

Dave has a totally different suspension design that is much, much better than struts.

A arm cars can spend less to get the same performance on struts because its a superior design. But even A arm FWD cars need big money shocks and springs when you get to the pointy end of the field.
