Nismo09, thanks for the update. May I ask, what kind of assurance is Sean waiting for in order to move it into production?

Does he want to make sure the alignment stays after being pushed hard? To make sure no squeaking?

I hope the radio silence is because Sean wants to keep things under wrap until he does the QC on the first batch, not because there are issues regarding production or design.

Knock on wood.

CV129,

As far as I understand it, Sean is moving forward with production. It is just a matter of when the machine shops he uses can put out the products for the arms so he can sell them. In fact, I have now run the Proto III's again at TWS (CCW this time) and they performed flawlessly. Now that the car is pretty much neutral (with camber/caster/toe setup), you do have to be careful of snap-over-steer as you get faster but they worked as advertised. Under-steer is a thing of the past for sure.

I have had no issues with alignment - I have not had any issues with anything changing once I have tracked the arms - unless running over curbs sideways (snap over-steer will happen) is an issue. Oops!!!!!!

Sorry I have not been back to the forums sooner. I have a lot going on these days - which is a good thing. I am headed back to TWS next weekend for more testing and am very excited about it.

Just keep hammering Sean. Hell, I had to do that for 3+ years just to get to this point.

Have a good one.
