Hey Ben, forgot to ask, can we specify the spring rates? Are we buying just the strut, and then choosing our own springs? If that wasn't the original plan, do we have that as an option? I want 120# front. DrFestiva88 will be getting the rears, so that would be his call on springs.

Out of curiosity what will the wheel clearance be?
Check out advancedynamics threads about suspensions and you will see his wheel clearances are alot better than the typical strut and spring setup. Wheel clearance shouldn't be an issue unless you are running a really wide tire or a negative offset, which would both be detrimental to handling anyway.

Charlie would be able to better answer that question. I think he is choosing the spring rates and making all of the sets the same. The whole system he is making will be completely bolt in. Shouldn't have to reuse any parts or source additional parts.

Ben, have you received the suspension parts from Charlie yet? Or did I miss the announcement as to them being now available?

Haven't recieved the suspension systems yet. Charlie is a busy man and these are not paying the bills, so there has been some delay in getting them built. I am just as excited to see them as everybody else.

@ Charlie: We insist you drop whatever you are doing and cater to our unrealistic expectations.
