Shock is currently a QA1 unit, spring to be determined once the car touches terra firma on rubber again and is weighed. I'd like to get an Ohlins remote reservoir one eventually, but I just want to get this thing running first, then I'll spend the even bigger bucks to get the really good stuff.
As far as when to sell, that one is still up in the air. Bob has mailed me a CD with all the files on it, and I just got a call today that for some reason the price of laser cutting the plates went up from $250 to $300 out of the blue, no changes or nothing! The original estimate was just for the plates, but Bob has included more parts to be laser cut, as they will be far less expensive then if Walt has to custom fab them up. Jason

Currently the design uses Karmann Ghia spindles, so stock KG. With the same geometry you can use stock drum spindles then to a disc brake conversion. The idea is to keep it simple and use the parts that most cars already have. Using dropped spindles will lower the car more, but the geometry will be off from the ideal the suspension is designed for. As it is, the car will be very low with the current design, you'd be scraping with dropped spindles.
Bob sent me a CD with all the parts of the design on it as well as a 3D model of it. Walt from Walt's Custom Services has it in his hands, and I'm waiting to hear back from him as to what is next. Jason

I have been looking at this particular setup and have found the engineering to be superb. What do yoy think?

It has some issues IMHO, but I've seen it in person, its very nice. I talked to the builder, Bruce, and as I recall it was designed by an old INDY engineer, so it seems it would do the job. See what he has to say, he's a great guy. I don't have any knowledge of how it works, but I'm sure it works a ton better than stock!
