FoT & Hardy,
I like the Quaife, perhaps because I paid several hundred dollars for it, and
cannot admit there is something better out there.
I believe it has two effects:
It forces you to do a good job of setting the suspension (opinion?)
and induces you to take the smoothest (best?) line.
Also, it seems quite indestructable.
Finally, I understand these units are used in Formula I, although I guess
that doesnt necessarily mean it is good for our application.
Regards,
Joe (A)
