Ridetech OUT, 4 link Watts-link in.

[Steve Chryssos]

When it articulates, ie going down a driveway in reverse and the rear end twist due to uneven surface, the diff rear steers.
This also happens on very uneven roads.
If you only drive on flat roads you have no issue, here in New Zealand we have awesome roads that really test a cars suspension......

For the record: Rear suspension does not experience anywhere near full articulation during high performance driving on any road at any appreciable speed. Effective spring rate, sway bar design and driver skills would keep your car close to level.

That little nugget of wisdom is common knowledge to anyone who has ever taken part in a high performance driving event. ...and most people agree that you should also drive slowly when backing out of your driveway -- especially at a steep angle. Complaining about rear roll steer while going in reverse at some speed approaching zero is silly and misleading.

If you ever visit the United States, I strongly encourage you to attend one of the dozens of high performance pro-touring driving events that take place from coast to coast. If that happens, you will see that the pro-touring community is STRONG. We don't bash each other. We HELP each other with tuning, and driving skills -- shade, and whatever is needed. We cheer each other on. In the evenings, we loiter together in hotel parking lots. You will also find that ALL of the available suspension options found on on typical 3400lb cars routinely compete within TENTHS of one second of each other at any given event. Sometimes that delta shrinks to HUNDREDTHS of a second with the biggest variable ALWAYS being DRIVER skill. ..and ridetech-equipped vehicles are ALWAYS competitive. ridetech cars win regularly and you can almost always find Ridetech cars finishing in the top ten. Our easy to install 4-link swaps the lead with products from our friendly competitors week in and week out -- Detroit Speed, Speedtech, Schwartz Performance, No Limit Engineering, TCI. You'll see the same brands at each event. That's how little difference exists in the real world. On public roads, that delta shrinks to zero point zero. As a company Ridetech works very hard to develop suspension that works well and is easy to install. The Easy-To-Install mandate may seem to be at odds with ultimate suspension geometry -- but only in the message board Keyboard Kung Fu universe. We don't race on paper.

..and I absolutely, positively A-100% assure you that the Ridetech cars -- Bolt-on 4-link and all -- experience loads far in excess to anything you might experience on any winding public New Zealand road at legal speeds or close.


Be part of the community. In the meantime.... Here's that same Ridetech 4-link rear suspension and TruTurn front suspension system in action experiencing well over 1g of lateral load on sticky 200 TW tires.
