Nice, it is a very elegant solution. Now you can control the different movement of the pod and add limitations...

I'm pretty sure it will work well on high grip, have you already tried on low grip?

Interesting design, I like how the droop screws are in the upper arms, but my concern would be that those screws are in that location would would be prone to fatigue the part after a large cycle count. Especially since the arms take lots of load. One idea would be to put the droop screws on the other piece its touching, otherwise, youre going to get alot of upper arm failures with the material crack initation originating from those threads. But anyhow, innovative design, go you guys

Especially as your front arms are too buffy... From my experience, F1 need a lot of Flex in the front...

work very good on low grip...a LOT of Rear traction

Sure ... but not flex in the arms themselves! Go to softer springs if you want more suspension movement.

Just as in touring cars, springs cannot catch higher frequencies, especially the ones coming from the roughness of the track.

For these ones, you must have flex elsewhere. It could be in the chassis, but here I think it could be interesting to have it in the front arms.

Sorry but that is incorrect.
Flex works ... yes. But it works because it feeds progressive compliance into the car. Progressive spring's will do the exact same.
Think of flex as a crutch making a given chassis and set up, work better then with out the flex.
This is due solely to the road condition's being raced on. Usually bumpy and low traction. The "flex" helps the chassis comply to the road surface while we sill run our restricted movement, hard suspension set up's.

I do not agree... Not from my experience on low grip, as we run without additive on sugared asphalt. But it is not very important.

Where can this kit be purchased from?
