Coming from the warmer climes I am not familiar with the terminology - what does "sawblade action" mean in this context? It doesn't sound good, that I know.

when you attach hundreds of sharpened bolts to your tires, and they become sawblades.

and yes, you can articulate the suspension all you want without the spring and convince yourself it clears everything ... but that doesn't actually catch everything. bushing deflection, tire deflection, bump stop travel etc ... you almost always end up with something touching.

and with the 996 radiators being right there in front of the front wheels, thats a very dangerous part to put right there.

Isn't going sideways in a full drift fun? Your not the first on to run 911 around here on the ice. I always wondered what a Lindorfer would do to an oil cooler when it go thrown out.
