I have just about enough cash saved up for a body. Would love to hear opinions from you guys. I know in the end it comes down to what I like best, but always like to hear suggestions.
Here are the bodies I am choosing from: http://www.igthobbies.com/category_s/41.htm
EDIT: For anyone else looking for a good starting point for 1/8 on-road spring rate, here is the chart someone gave me. Seems like 20-60 lb/in is the average range. |
Would you mind posting the formula and where you got it? I'd like to add it to the calc pages, but want to give proper credit for the original location, if applicable.
