Title: Superior control bars Post by: Nico86 on May 27, 2010, 23:08:25 pm What do you think of this ? Is that suposed to "simulate" an IRS on a swing-axle car ? Seems interesting...

i like the idea. might be a little heavy to get them shipped to europe though :D Title: Re: Superior control bars Post by: gizago on May 27, 2010, 23:41:13 pm VERY good idea- should take a whole lot of unwanted movement out of the springplates.

That link can't alter the suspension geometry.Title: Re: Superior control bars Post by: gizago on May 30, 2010, 18:51:18 pm .... seems like wasted money to me You are right. That link can't alter the suspension geometry.I think thats the point, its supposed to stop the geometry changing itself. It should help eliminate springplate flex, and stop the rear end from tucking in or getting into positive camber from how I understand it.

is when they biind, because they are trying to work in a different plane.

I think you are right, even VW's stock IRS has design issues, they need rubber bushings. |
