Vintage racing suspension Options

[BillJ]

So contemplating doing the suspension next year and want to accumulate parts. Knowing that vintage wants you to stay true to period what is the max we can do for suspension goodies? Lets call it SVRA rules as they seem to be the strictest....

Bushings, strut inserts, sways, torsion bars, etc. What are you guys willing to.share on setup? I will be running a 2.4 ltr.

...and all this rules blah blah blah is why I run with vintage/historics groups that don't give a damn. This is supposed to be a fun demonstration activity, not a re-enactment of the 24 hours of Daytona from 1973!

Arguing over whether a tie-bar is compliant to half-a-century-old rulesset? Seriously? I get enough of that rules argumentatation with SCCA stuff.

This is supposed to be fun, dammit!

Rules are the only tool that reduces/ contains cost
In a different thread you mentioned that vintage racing is an arms race
Not having rules causes that arms race

Spec classes have the most strict rules and most predictable costs
Seems like you can’t have it both ways
