looks cool for sure... but might it not be a bit too soft? One would need to do the calculations in terms of leverage of course, but I have my doubts

 That really depends on what you are trying to achieve , if you want it for pure tracking aspect's then yes , you are probably right . When comparing it to the likes of a nitto engine damper which is stuffed with rubber rings . Or we could think outside the square and look at a more street able gas air filled shock that has the ability to be totally tuneable (to a piont ) depending on spring rate and gas pressure. I could send one to Garm for testing with his rocket ship  cost wise it's 1/2 -2/3rd's the price of the Nitto , it might be worth a shot it might not .We will never know until we try it  can anyone tell me the length of the Nitto (betwen hole centre's) |

The bottom line is it looks like there are quite a few options for shocks. It also looks like you need a fairly stiff spring to help control the motion adequately.
The next big question is how do we mount something like this? Where should we mount it??? |
