Quote: You guys can argue this to death but I will say this, again, I am NOT a racer of any kind, there is absolutely NO WAY you could tune a stock suspension and get the level of handling I got on my 69 Dart when I installed a Hotchkiss TVS ! M
Does my suspension count as 'tuned stock' in your book? I still have factory control arms...
I track my car regularly and I can't wait to put it up against a TVS car on a roadcourse. David vs Goliath. DIY vs Corporate.
I think very highly of the TVS system. It is the benchmark that all others should be compared to IMO. And if I get dusted on track I'll have to call up Dan, hat in one hand, credit card in the other...
The stock stuff can do well, but the level of adjustibility on our stuff is unreal. I hope we can see you at an event in the future so at a minimum we could take you for a spin. I promise, you won't be disappointed!
How much more adjustability would I gain with TVS UCA's? I'm at 7.0* caster and -1.7* camber. I'm maxed out on caster at the -1.7* camber. Although I can get to 9.0* but with -3.0* camber. It would be nice to be able to run 9.0 caster at sub -2.0* camber.
Hoosiers are going on the car later this month. How far should I go with the alignment? I'm thinking -2.7 & 8.5ish.
Thanks for the offer Dan. And I don't just want you to take me for a spin. I want to be on the same road course on the same day! So either you've got to come to texas or I'm waiting until the 'shootout' happens (I'll bring the car nearly anywhere for that).
