Ralf - You've got a pretty clear picture of the idea. I intend to leave the sway bar connection in place, but I will be paying close attention to any induced loads into the frame or the lower control arm itself. The "rigid connections" will be links that are adjustable for length, and feature spherical rod ends with a special low-friction liner similar to teflon, but able to withstand a much higher bearing stress than teflon. The company that makes this proprietary liner material has, in addition to many products in the aerospace industry, been involved in high-performance parts for car and boat racing. If the specific geometry of the front suspension of our beloved "D's" will allow the addition of these links without extremely high induced loads, I think that the handling performance gains will be noticeable. BTW - One of my desires in posting the way that I do is to try to get people to think, and to consider different ideas. I appreciate the fact that you are somewhat skeptical, and I welcome it. If all 1200 or so people that belong to the DML would think about even one little enhancement to the car, the results would be astounding. Keep up the good work!
