Are these overkill for street use or will a few extra bucks make a trick suspension work better all around??

Built for torsion type suspension of formula racecars. It would be a waste on a road car because the suspension is already in line with the travel of the wheel.

Rear suspension of Fran-Am 1600, sits above bellhousing

Front suspension of Fran-Am 1600, monoshock setup

You see in a Formula car you are transfering the force of suspension travel from an up/down direction (vertical spring setup of road cars) to a forward/reverse direction (springs nearly horizontal). Even with the torsion bar the suspension still wants to force the bottom of the springs up and down, those perches help keep the compression force in line with the horizontal suspension rather then stressing the components in the natural vertical travel the suspension naturaly wants to move.

 

Cool... thanks for the reply
