        Can we still run those spring rods ? I've got one laying around (AFCO).

          Afco. Not legal if your sanction adopted the unified rules.

            Instead of which spring has the weight it would then be which BAR has the weight?

                The AFCO is no longer made and the Penske is way over priced. I'd rather by used for testing purposes.

                  Bicknell still makes the standard ones like the old afco's for a reasonable price. They also make the precision control link which is like the Penske spring rod, but bicknell tells me that Penske buys most of their parts from them to manufacture their unit. They also told me that their sales to DLM teams went up last season lol.

                    LOL....Since our team was sponsored by Penske shocks in 1997, we were one of the first dirt teams to use one. Penske called them "hydraulic tracking dampner". I guess that's too fancy of a name for dirt cars.

                      How much travel do the spring rods have?

                        You could get about an inch out of the AFCO, if sprung light enough to allow it.

                          Curious .. I guess it's not legal now, but how come I never saw anybody running those recently ?

                            I think the Penske is really the only one people were running recently. I always thought they were too much of a hero or zero deal.
