So you're saying that there are no longer any springs on the king pins? Also unless you're running outdoors on a very bumpy track, there really isn't that much suspension travel in the front end to justify all the dampening in that large mono shock.

I also don't see how the front end would "flop around" because it looks like a standard AE reactive caster front end with a big mono shock and torsion bar. The AE car doesn't have those and it doesn't "flop".
