I mean, yeah, that was a bit dramatic by
@NC Engine Builder
But, is he wrong?
Because I don’t think he is. Honestly, I don’t think there’s
any engineering in
any of the coil over conversions. Not strictly speaking anyway, because I don’t believe any of the coil over conversions have actually been designed or analyzed by engineer.
I mean, did you have a structural or mechanical analysis done by an engineer
@HemiDenny ?
And look, I know there are plenty of race car builders both current and historical that have built amazing machines without an engineer and some pretty problematic ones that were engineered. Not trying to discount that at all.
But there’s a difference between building a race car, or even your own car, and selling aftermarket components for a profit when you know they’ll be spending time on the street.
And that right there is the problem.
Because other than a rack and header clearance there’s NOTHING that an HDK does that you can’t do with the torsion bar suspension.
And in the world of handling, road racing and AutoX it’s the coil over conversions that haven’t proved they’re better at all.
