If you guys want to start a pool and buy me one, I'll test the shit out of it.

That makes sense, its the only way I could see it working.

Shit is so damn expensive even if we all put in $20, youd still be several thousand short. Ha

IMO its not worth the cost. Take the Marck route, buy some rod and rod ends from speedway motors. Cut your trailing arms, weld on some flanges, and link it yourself.

Why not? Place the flanges so that the arms sit equal length apart, and are equally as long as each other. Remove engineering from the equation.

I'm not going to allocate time for a project like that. I have no problem allocating a few g for a suspension like that.

Good point, sometimes its best to do what you do well, and just pay someone else to do what they do well.

You just stated the entire underlying premise of market economics. Specialization. Want to live in a society where everyone does all their own shit, go be a hunter gatherer. The DIY stuff is for fun, entertainment, maybe practical skills and knowledge building, but most of the time it is not economically efficient when you account for all factors.

Very true. Dear economy, sorry. Hahaha

It is true though, I want an indoor spa in my future home, thats my one thing. And although I could do it, I prob wouldnt. Id be better off working a little OT and paying for it to be done professionally.
