Introducing Lateral Dynamics Competitor Modular Spindles

[Mark@lateral-dynamics]

Hi Rick,

We certainly looked at the applications you noted, at this time it is unlikely that we will pursue that option, however. Funny, Lateral Dynamics and American Touring Specialties were both originally formed nearly the same time and we actually had some pretty close collaboration. We actually got a set of the very first AFX spindles as a result and have had them on an A Body for years now. There are already a few options for that application on the market.



In our experience and informal opinion, a stock framed early car isn't competitive with an aftermarket subframe option - in the market segment that we wish to focus on. There is NO question that using the bolt on parts completely transforms the early cars over the OEM parts, we have run them for decades now with great enjoyment. But while others might argue, and we don't wish to get into that argument, there is no substitution for a well executed aftermarket front setup at the top levels of competitive autocross and track events. Which is where we wish to serve, and as such, we are well into development of our own solution (i.e. front subframe) - as well as significant improvements to our legacy 3-Link rear setup.

Thanks for the inquiry!
Mark
