Gabe,

I had a roadster with the 3 link and though I never raced against the GT3s often they normally would beat me if the drivers never messed up. I now have a factory Five Coupe with the Independent rear suspension and it is every bit as fast and well handling on our track as the 3 link in the roadster was. Both of my cars were set up for this though and until I quit racing I was always adjusting on them as track conditions change. I now just drive the Coupe for enjoyment and had the power cut way back so I can run the crap they call pump gas out here in it.

The IRS car would probably out perform the 3 link with all other parts being equal but it's a lot more expensive and it would take someone with a lot more than average skills to do it. In the FFR, I don't like how the upper link isn't triangulated to the chassis but that's just my opinion. It also needs 31 spline joints/differential for racing strength. All adds to the cost. If you have the money and want to spend it, be my guest!

Not questioning your skills. Just trying to make sure you are all in.
