DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?

So if we stack up all the wins from torsion bar cars over coil over converted cars what does that look like? Because it’s been awhile now.

I mean I think Tim is great, but are you saying he wins every competition from here on out?

Seems to me every time this has come up in the past it’s always been “well so and so is a really great driver it’s more about that than the suspension”.

But one trophy in and now it’s about the suspension? A great weekend does not the superior system make. Gonna looks silly if he loses to a torsion bar cars ever again talking like that.

Ps- I do not use extended ball joints as you stated earlier.

no mention of EVERY win....just the last one. (@Moparty). the ONLY ones that mentions a superior suspension in this thread are you OEM guys. My point thru out the 32 pages is the HDK COC CAN do everything the OEM can do....with other distinct advantages.

Maybe we could...(or couldn't) agree the title in hindsight would have been better if it said....Can an COC suspension handle every bit as good as a T-bar suspension (while providing other benefits?)

sorry, I thought I read where you installed longer / extended stud upper control arm ball joints, maybe that was someone else. Are you adjusting / tuning your roll center or only talking about it because Tim adjusted / fine tuned (added 1" over standard HDK package) for his specific application (tire diameter / ride height / spindle)?

after all....for all the experts (and those that think I do not know anything about front end geometry) how would you tune / change the roll center on an OEM suspension if your ride height (maybe lowered) / tire diameter (bigger or smaller diameter tire) changed....let's say more than an inch??. I'll answer first.......only ways I can think of a) raise (can't go any lower) the upper ball joint pivot, all other chassis pivots that effect roll center are pretty much set and non adjustable, b) heat / bend the steering arm up / down (but watch out for effecting bump steer). Maybe / big maybe move the hub in / out but I can't imagine it would change significantly. Other than that, you get what you got.
