extracted from the setup manual:
centers. In general, a higher roll center on one end of the car creates more weight transfer at that end. The amount that a chassis rolls depends on the position of the roll axis relative to the car’s center-of-gravity (CG). A lower roll center generally creates more grip due to the reduction in weight transfer.
Is is correct? weight transfer isn't consequence of the chassi roll?
The manual says that less chassi roll created more weight transfer....

Does anyone know how much lighter the SPP Spring steel main shaft is?

Don't think they are better.
Guess they will be between the stock pads and the race pads.
The race pads are pretty expensive.
And the steel 2 speed shaft is still steel so don't think it's much lighter, if you want a light one you better go for titanium or alu.
Why doesn't serpent make titanium parts actually, a lot of other companies do?.

That is true. It has to be a very good titanium for the two-speed shaft because of the tendency of the two-speed bearing eating it up. Now once it got a little groove from the one-way bearing, it will be a headache. I wouldn't get a titanium shaft somewhere unless it comes from Serpent in the future.
Anyways, the spring steel shaft should be really good as the material is even stronger than the stock steel. I know I'll get one as soon as it hits the U.S.

But I'm still getting the spring steel shaft when it comes out .
