I got a huge shock when I saw the first pic of the setup. It looks so, empty.
The idea is very good but I am also worried about strength.
You must remember, in a gymkhana or any race condition, you will be loading up the outside strut considerably when going through a corner. I would almost say it would have double the stresses if compared to a car driving in a straight line.
The bolt in my eye is the weak spot in the design. If you can strengthen it then it might work. Also the plate that has the slides in it to adjust camber, you can make it much thicker to strengthen it. Maybe 10mm?
After talking to Rezlo, he informed me that we can get S13 camber plates for R800 a set (I think) and with apparently little modification fit to a 1200. Maybe that is a safer route. I don't want to be a spectator when the thing collapses in a corner. Another thing, do they do safety inspections on the cars before an event? I am worried that they might fail it due to safety issues.
