[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 539742, member: 20098"] You can't really compare a narrowed beam in this instance - you get a lot more available travel before a similar sized tyre would hit the arch on a standard width beam. The long and short of it, no matter what beam you're on, the closer the tyre sits to the arch, the stiffer you're going to have to make the suspension to avoid it contacting. The coilovers are a simple bolt-on workaround for this. Whether or not people agree with the engineering is another question, but we're hardly talking about a modern car trying to squeeze an extra 0.1 seconds off a lap time... I don't think most people would feel any negative effects of running two types of suspension design in combination together. [/QUOTE]
