the floor is 1"lower than the bottom edge of the body on the under side of the chassis so good head room and the foot well extends 1.1/2"past the side vent in the engine bay, my partner peter is 6 foot 3 and quiet large and he has design it to fit the larger gentle man

what are the anti-squat characteristics of the CC & AR suspension? Any downsides you have found?

Hi Mark,
The CC&AR system responds to anti-dive and anti-squat strategies in the same way as any other double-wishbone suspension system. By adopting a rising rate approach however, we have found that its inclusion can normally be avoided.
Have you seen the CC&AR Web site ( http://www.walker-partnership.com/)? There's a lot more information about the system there. |

Looks like a fun project! If a car needs a Carbon Fiber Body, this is it!

wheels look great, but 235's for the front seem a bit small: any reason for this?

any bigger than this compromises the straight line stability, moor tram lining and heavy steering |
