Coil-overs and mechanical stress?

I'm calling BS on some of this. With the Z. ALL of your suspension points are on the sub-frame. The only point not on the sub-frame is the upper shock

I'm calling BS on some of this. With the Z. ALL of your suspension points are on the sub-frame. The only point not on the sub-frame is the upper shock mount. Even if the shock tower deflects. It will not change the alignment. The only way it would change, is if you put the shock through the tower. Then you would have a change in ride height on one side.

When the Z was in Pirelli and Continental Challenge. Those tires that they ran. Was the spec tire that they had to run according to the rules. They was limited on what sizes they was allowed to run.
