has been around for eons (i.e. about as long as leaf springs). Doubt it would be legal, also doubt it is any better than a single-leaf steel spring.

Looks like not a lot of flex and they've already seen and produced a problem to wrap.

I would imagine this has some appeal where (a) shaving a few pounds off a vehicle's weight is really worth it, and (b) the spring doesn't have to do a huge amount. ie, it's for racing on a flat track, not for off-road use.

Warranty does not cover abuse, wrecks etc. who judges what abuse is?
