I suppose he wouldn't sell them if they break though?
Do a search on UPR on here and the corral.
Okay, time to talk about reality.
In
reality, just about ALL of those types of companies have designs done by a machinist, or someone that has experience in
manufacturing.
In
reality, no one at those companies likely even has a clue what Finite Element Analysis is, or means. So, IMHO, most of those designs are "good luck SUCKER designs".
Again, in
reality, from a profit point of view, it makes
zero sense to have a top notch experienced Principal structural Mechanical Engineer on staff for over $100K/year and have a few hundred thousand of dollars in software. Heck how do you think things were done in the 50's -70's? Many of those designs were based on experience.
Note: There are a few companies that do have the income and sales (and respect) to have real structural mechanical engineers. But, those companies are the exception verses the rule.
*I* care about
handling. That's why I use MM (Maximum Motorsports) stuff. MM has a very knowledgeable and experienced structural mechanical engineer that has the software and tools to do real design and analysis. WOW, what a concept!
So, please be VERY careful about
ANY aftermarket component you put on your car! Some are down right MORONIC in their design. And, the company/execs are so *****ing *******, they won't even do cheap/simple/
no-cost things to fix an otherwise VERY risky ****ed design.
Hey,
you asked!
