|
| Rear POD. |
|
| The three side link mounting positions on the new pod front plate maintain proper side link alignment when using each of the 3 different center pivot mounting positions. Keeping the side links in-line provides more neutral and dynamic handling for all conditions, improving drivability & corner speed. |

|
| Side Link Mounting System. |
|
| New carbon front mounting plates for the side links have three mounting positions matched to the pod front plate. This new adjustment allows the side link rear pivots to remain in-line with all three center pivot locations - Forward/Middle/Rear, reducing bind during suspension compression and improving handling and dynamics. |

| Pod Mounting System. |
|
All-new lowered center pivot holder controls POD movement.
Forward – The most forgiving handling; car can be driven more aggressively without fear of losing rear traction.
Middle - Balance between front and rear traction and well suited for most conditions.
Rearward – Improved rotation from the shorter rear pod geometry. Provides more initial steering as well as rotation which is best suited for high traction carpet. |

|
| Front Suspension Brace. |
|
| A thinner 1.6mm carbon front brace is included in the kit to improve handling & overall feel. The increased flex in the front suspension makes the handling more forgiving while also improving mechanical grip. This is especially noticeable mid corner with faster transitions from corner entry to exit. |
