This may be a noob question, but.... how does the new front end suspension work? What replaces the little springs we used to run...

Thanks

The front end now uses two carbon fiber flex-plates as a spring. They can be mounted in 1.5 and 1.8mm thickness. This will act as the "spring" in the front end. They also have two set screws in these plates which along with two set screws in the lower arms will be used to set the ride height and spring tension...

Hope I got this right...
