i clicked on the link ,no info on who made it ? and from the the picture it looks like the camber is way off. the way the spindle is tilted , but photos can be decieving, also in the discription the seller claims round tubing is stronger than rectangular, i would have to disagree all things being equal ie. size and wall thickness, i believe rectangular is stiffer. his main rail is 2" round i'll take a 2x3 or 2x4 rail any day over that. but thats just my opinion, and you know what they say about that.

Uh oh.........

Sounds like another cat in the bag to me. Wonder when this one will shows is head, eh Mark ???

so for $2,999 what are you getting? it looks like getting the corvette a arms costs an extra $1,999. 3 grand sounds expensive for a bare frame.

It's top secret. I know you have a clearance, but not with this agency. As a result, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!

You need to move back to San Diego, Tommy.

round tubing is actually stiffer than rectangular, but since rectangular is alot easier to work with thats what most people go with

Vegas = lower overhead than Kalifornia. Well, that, and it would take an act of Congress for them to allow me to leave my current assignment.

What you need ta be thinkin 'bout is some investment property here in Sin City. Then you can open up "Mark's House of Suspension" right next to ATS and Shelby.

I know you like Vegas. It's not that long of a trip....or is it because you got wrecked just post the Hilton "Hooker Bar"...during SEMA...and you wanna get in a little reciprocity..??



Damn good times brother ! THAT, I do miss. You still up for splitting a box of La Habana San Cristobal 'El Morro's...??

a peice of box tubing will most deffinalty twist more then round stock. round tubing in manny cases is stiffer

Interesting, this guy was selling a complete WD subframe on Craigs List about a month ago. I pointed him here and told him he might have better luck. Maybe I should head over and see what he has going on (Santa Rosa is about 15 minutes from me).

The round vs square tubing discussion is driving me nuts.

Stiffness is a function of cross sectional area.
To say round is stiffer than square means nothing without quantifying the statement.

Please see the following web page

Yep. The type of tubing selected should consider the types, frequency, and magnitudes of the forces. What is good for one area, might not be good for another.
