Chassis, Suspension and additional frame mounted equipment

• Fully triangulated space frame back bone style round tube frame and all suspension links are constructed from seamless 4130N aircraft alloy chrome-moly round tubing throughout. Customer choice of two frame colors.

Lower arms are an asymmetrical GT style designed to enhance stability in hard braking. Front anti-dive geometry, rear anti-squat and anti-lift geometry. Front 7/8" solid adjustable sway bar.
