As the topic states -Is anyone using the RMS Street Lynx rear suspension system on their Street/Strip ride?

Thoughts??? -Is it better, as good or not as good as a Caltrack system?

Thanks..

/Tom

give bill at RMS a call. he can tell ya the limitations if any with it.


It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

we get the unlawfuls is great, but that wasnt the question. I would like to know if anyone is using the RMS system as well. Much more affordable for my pocket plus I saw it on Chop Cut Rebuild show on Speed a few weeks ago on a 68 Charger, all good things were said about it and they interviewed Bill as well.


Thank you
Kiddart

Thanks Topbrent for that link. Doesnt look that complicated to build yourself and with the parts list... On the other hand, I can do many things, but sadly welding is not one of them.. Wonder if I could talk my Buddy into helping me out with the welding part...

Anyways.. I read in the thread from the A-Body forum that the RMS Lynx system had a limit of about 10sec.. so in that case the CalTrack system would be better... well If I was to go faster than 10sec.... Need to think about this for a while...

Thanks again!

/Tom
