removing the stock shock and spring.....20 pounds? tops? (each side)* correct me if I'm wrong here*
installing the push rod setup including the cantilever pivot and coil......for shits lets say 25 tops. (each side)
being that its only in there rear that's a net gain of 10 pounds (estimated) * I dont include the rear brace/mounting system because half of us have some sort of rear brace or some bar so I don't see how it could be held against the setup.
if it were a track car than there would be other ways to shed the weight to make up for the suspension.
in this specific setup the benefits of the altered suspension geometry outweigh the added 10 pounds.
he may want to fit some super hot wheels, or likes the benefit of a cantilever, who knows.
but it still remains the same mabye not for this specific app. but cantilever had been proven. it may not be for the street but on the track it performs.
I'm going to e-mail them though and see if i can get a dyno on the coils

Have you guys even looked at your rear suspension? The average coilover is almost completely contained inboard of the rear wheel well.
I guarantee you that bent bar is way heavier than the average eBay strut bar that most S-chassis guys run to handle all the suspension loads.
You guys are ridiculous. You don't even have the faintest idea of why you'd really want a setup like this, and what would make it actually good. You just see something "neat" and get all butthurt when anybody logically critiques it. :ghey:
And do you even know what you'd be looking at on a damper dyno?
