GUNNER,
APPLES and ORANGES! I am VERY familiar with the Corvair of yesteryear.
Baloney as you call it is BALONEY! POLITELY OR NOT! Corvairs problem (one of many!) was as you say with a
Swing Arm rear suspension. Now give me one OEM car, any one that uses a coil over suspension that, not struts please, the shock can not extend past the coil if so designed!
So you know: Myself and Steve, (now retired) (part owner and engineer of PRO-SHOCKS) spent a good three days engineering this combination. I was just the Gopher he and the computer did all the work at SEMA the last time it was in Columbus. He also
designed the Double Venoms suspension. QA-1's did the same thing, they make the ACR (Viper) racing suspension.
Good thing I like Baloney! Show me I am wrong and I will gladly eat your Baloney.
