Double Venom suspension question

[Curt C.]

Hey Ed,

No question that the front bar is a little tight. However, I prefer a little understeer as opposed to oversteer, in a Cobra at high speeds. These cars, as you know, with their short wheel bases can be twitchy. Expecially if you get the rear too tight. The CR supplied rear bar is just as fat as the front bar. My car experienced significant oversteer / overcorrection issues with the rear CR bar. I learned that the rear bar should always be smaller than the front. I would love to build an adjustable type Nascar bar like you did. Did that bar utilize splined blades (arms) with adjustable features? Do you still have the drawings? Can you make another? I would love to have one. The circle track stuff is so cheap - I love it.

I have been tracking this car of about 8 years at Spring Mountain, Las Vegas Motor, Willow Spings, Button Willow, etc. The car holds its own with the competition (depending on the driver) - Z06's / Vipers / Lotus, etc. I am convinced that it would run much better with a torque arm / panhard rod set up or a 3 link. Four links with unapparalel bars simply have way too much bind. Since you sold your shop, there is really no one making custom suspension parts specifically for the CR. I do not have the technical expertise to design and build my own and ensure that the geometry is right. The folk that do are quite expensive.
