Howdy,
I run a short wheel base Dodge Colt, solid suspension, and it is
a rough ride @ 144MPH. I always thought that a small amount of compliance
would help, something on the order of an inch or so. And am now designing a
'liner with the air pucks in it for suspension.
Question....with the air suspension pucks, ( I think they are
machine mounts, you know, the rubber hockey puck thingys that are air
pressurized)
Am I required to use a shock at each corner that has these units
mounted as suspension per the rule II-4 ? or do they qualify as both
suspension and shock?
