Re: Whats the demand

Well like I said, this will then just be for the US market, since we dont have to worry about that kind of thing, if someone here wants this kind of system too then I'll change it up your appliction. And if you drop a nice big V8 in too then you'll be able out run all those pesky officals.

Re: Whats the demand

unless it's engineered/complianced, any suspension setup that requires new mounts etc on the chassis will be illegal to use on public roads/tracks (on or off tarmac). it would certainly be possibly to have such a setup engineered/complianced (assuming it's a quality setup like you say), but this ...

Re: Whats the demand

if you are intending to provide a kit that people here can purchase then it really needs to be a bolt in solution, as there are plenty of guys here that will do all mods etc to take all the old gear out and do a completely re designed system. people dont want to spend lots of money on suspension ...

Re: Whats the demand

I don’t intend to re-sales some shocks and slap on some bumps and call it an off-road suspension. I call that a Band-Aid and I’ll let other companies do that. There are a ton of those out there and in the end all you’ve succeeded in doing it altering the design of a suspension that was intended for e ...

Re: Whats the demand

There would certainly be plenty of interest in such a kit, the problem here is that out legality/roadworthy standards seem to be much tighter than in the US and just about any modification like what you speak of will be illegal unless it passes expensive compliance testing. Cost would also be a ...
