Shocks

Springs

I think we should contemplate mostly copying CSP rates to start with, depending on final motion ratios. CSP apparently goes with ~750/450 lb springs right now.

Control Arms

Currently Stock. Presumably dealing with this as part of the Uprights project.

Spindles

Currently ABS stock spindles all around. Need to remove dust covers for now. Working on creating drop spindles with the Uprights project.

Solo Rules

Section 16.1.E of the Solo rules states:

"Suspension components are unrestricted as long as they use the original attachment points. For the purposes of this rule, “suspension” is defined as any item that is designed to move when a wheel is deflected vertically. This includes shocks and struts, control arms, steering knuckles, uprights, etc., but not tie rods, steering racks, and subframes. In addition, shock absorber/strut upper mounts are to be considered suspension components."

This allows the use of fully custom uprights and A-arms.
