We went to the track a few weeks ago for testing and laid down some pretty good 60 ft/times. The GoPro's were mounted so we could help analyze what the suspension was doing at launch. After looking them over I thought it would be an interesting video for you guys to see. As you can see, there is very little rotational spindle movement which means our parts are doing there job.

A little more power and some custom alignment settings dropped a tenth of a second in our 60 ft/times. We had absolutely zero wheelspin with the car setup this way, now all we need is more power...

In this next video, watch the spindle as the car accelerates and brakes. This video was taken when the car was bone stock and you can see how bad the spindle counter-rotates during acceleration and braking. in fact, the spindle moves all over the place, independent of the suspension links. This just goes to show what rigid suspension links and low-deflection bushings can do for you.
