DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?
that asshole said I know nothing about suspension geometry basically saying the reason why I teamed with Tim was to have him work it out for me.
Ah, that's the crux of it this time.
Let me explain why I have the opinion that suspension geometry isn't "your thing".
1. Deflections when discussing your suspension geometry and if it was "improved' over the stock A-Body suspension. You state (and correctly so) that you never made claims that the geometry was better. Leaves the impression you really don't know what the geometry looked like at all.
2. Comments about roll center and such are never responded to. Only attacks or ignored. Zero discussion on geometry from you.
3. Suggests to build a handling car are (generally) responded with "I just like hanging with my buddies" suggesting that how a car handles isn't on your radar.
I could go back and quote you but too much time wasted to do that. And there might even be other reasons beyond the above that I might remember if I went back, but that's pointless.
Based on those things, I came to the conclusion that I did. If I am wrong, I am open to be schooled.
The comment that you co-opted Tim was maybe overly pointed. But you have to admit that it's not completely untrue. You already admitted you have enough on your plate so developing the kit for handling wasn't going to work for you to do it yourself. So you went looking for someone that would work it over and improve the design, which Tim did. You even said you hand picked him for that reason. Effectively, what Tim has under his car now isn't any of your design beyond the general layout, only the rack is in the same location as far as I know. It was a savvy move, you get a better handling kit to offer and exposure in a market you didn't really have much in before.
posted my product isn't durable.....but nothing to back it up.
posted not proven while I been at it for more than 2 decades....no breakage, no issues.
I don't ever remember saying I thought it wasn't durable. Plenty have, but all I have pointed out is the loading on the frame rails and some concerns for the rigidity of the system. I don't remember once saying durability was an issue.
But now that you mention it, I wonder if your k-frame would fold in and not allow a body to be dropped over the motor like a guy on here recently had with a Hellcat and an RMS kit. He had to jack the k-frame apart to get it past the frame rails. I haven't posted a comment about that here just to leave things alone, but feels pertinent to this comment now.
But saying I think the thing is going to fall out of the car and kill someone...that was someone else.
But I get it, I pissed you off. You reacted.
And if I didn't have anything to back it up with, why does what I say matter anyways?
