    We're also talking a high-performance car built to hit triple digit speeds in a competitive environment, not a vehicle designed to move 80k+ lbs at 60 MPH.

    Still the same physics involved. Unsprung weight, rotating mass and sprung weight of the components in a suspension all play into how the shock is valved and damped. Put the wrong shock on the front of a W900 you’ll pull your steers off cupped to the second tread bar in about 50k mi.

    Honestly never seen a set of tires last that long. Bushroads shred tires up pretty quickly.

    That’s a different world. You guys can have tires destroyed by rock bruises, shifted belts and sidewall damage when the stickers are still on them.

    Monroe and change them every time you put on a set of new steers.
