Thread: control arms

Will how do they increase rigidity if they are not dimpled?

I don't recall the exact calculations, but the holes should be evenly distributed across the surface. IIRC, Mechanics of materials proves that circular holes increase the modulus of rigidity of a material, of course there are optimal hole sizes and distributions. Ideally, the holes should be as perfect as possible, without scrapes or burrs.

Take a small strip of sheet metal and twist it a little to feel how stiff it is. Then punch a series of holes in it and try twisting it again, it will be far stiffer.

I can find more specific/accurate info on it later if you want

Very cool! I would love to hear more, particularly about the application...if it isn't too much trouble that is

Chuck,

just letting you know that you managed to draw me back here after a 2-year hiatus!!!!

Cheers Chris

After installing Chucks control arms and anti-bumpsteer kit I went out on a track with great results. The understeer was completely eliminated with a lot of front end traction and much better feel in the corners, high speed stability also increased as I was very confortable at 190 km/hr going over a bump at the end of a back straight at Mosport GP track in ON, Canada.
Here is the video at the end of the day:

Please, share more!

Lowered by ?? Inches?
Any figment issues?
Do you have a front anti-roll bar?
Etc., etc.

excellent!

Updates?

Pricing and availability?

Wanting to get back into the B13 suspension game again after a 5-year hiatus.

yeah, wtf chuck?
