The steering loss was minimal and easily regained with minor tuning and ride hieght change.I give this part the "thumbs up"

While appreciated the kudos that Mike is giving me here, one foul fact remains that the sub-contractor I used to stamp my flex plates has given me a royal screwing to this point. I am quickly loosing patients, legal action may have to take place. This contractor felt that it was ok to use a material that I did not spec for my job. When I took these parts to a hardening shop.... wallah.... they all melted down. The hardening shop said the material should not have melted at the temperature they were going to treat them at. Come to find out, I did not get the material I thought I was paying for. It gets even better. They admitt fault and now will not return my calls, emails or even follow up with anything that ressembles customer service. I would kick them to the curb in a heartbeat, but I have a credit "of sort" with the to correct this job. I have quite a bit of money invested into this one product with nothing to show for it. Very dissapointing. This company has been mentioned in these forums before. Just be careful.

And yes, the Flex Plate does work! Just ask the few lucky ones who got to test the prototypes.

That looks really cool. I would imagine that the roll center would be reduced.

Hi,

what diameters are the springs used? Just curious as in Germany we use 0.55mm or 0.6mm springs nearly all the time...

Thanks
Cheers

the EA qoute was dealing w/ motors. but in america the .55mm is about .216654". we normally use a .20" front spring. that would be about a .508mm spring. the .6mm spring you said would be around a .23622" spring in america. that spring is not used nearly as often as your .55mm spring.
