Alright, what, would anyone who knows suggest for rally car suspension? C-10 is what I'm talking about, just to keep things clear. I know I could probably figgure this searching through hundreds of other websites but I figured I'd ask the specifics here.

Also, where could such parts be purchased?

any other recomendations?

Tony

That is a pretty open ended question?

If you dont want to slow for tripple catuion waterbars and you want it to fit your car, go with Ohlins or Pro-Flex ($5k).

If you want to save some money and you have access to a Mill, lathe, welder, then custom order a set of DMS ($2500). This is a sarcastic remark because out of 3 sets of DMS that I supplied CAD drawings for, none of them has matched the drawing.

If you dont mind slowing for triple cautions, and having them rebuilt isnt an issue because there are few events in Florida, get some Morris ($1400).

Dont bother showing up with anything less. Many newcomers decide to spend money on their motor and not their suspension, but nothing could be further from the ideal in rally. It isnt a drag race between turns, it is a rally!

I wouldnt race with less than a modified to fit set of DMS, but I wouldnt buy antoher set of DMS because it is just too much hassle. I easily invested the time and money to have just bought the Ohlins in the first place. If you want DMS, call Dave Turner at 909-487-5944 when he gets back from Australia in about a week.
