Hi,

Good article. But it seems to appeal to those who prefer to race their cars. Its for those who already know that the suspension is designed to work as a SYSTEM. It has to be TUNED. Suspension specialists like Lotus are sought after for their TUNING expertise. Its not a matter of just replacing one or two bushes.

Leave this to the average folks they are going to mess up with the original setup. I think we are better off with the setup offered by default. Folks like us have more important matters to attend to than to start pulling hairs over fine tuning our suspensions. After all we don't have any trophy to win!

If longevity seems to be its other selling point (which may be good enough) remember its a trade off from other factors. What that factors are remains to be seen.

Regards,
Amarin.
