Yes, they did come with a swing spring swing axle suspension. The early GT6 came with a swing axle fixed spring, with the usual swing axle bad habits. The GT6 then was equipped with a rotoflex suspension. This was a more conventional fully independent design, without the severe camber changes and jacking. It was expensive though. Very late GT6's were switched back to a swing axle, but with a swing spring. Identical setup as the later Spitfires. It was a cost saving effort apparently. It brought back the nasty camber changes of a swing axle, but with a reduced tendancy to jack or tuck because of the swinging leaf spring.
The rotoflex design is the best handling, but it is somewhat expensive, and the rubber donuts rather fragile and a pain to replace. The swing spring swing axle is capable of quite good handling, at the expense of ride comfort. It is cheaper to maintain. >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/05/02 10:15AM >>> Hi guys, did all the late gt6 Mk3s have the swing spring suspension? what were its advantages and disadvantages? /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
