    Lawwill unveils his carbon leaf spring rear suspension design making coil shocks a thing
    of the past.

    Everybody jumps on *that bandwagon.

    Curnutt's rear shocks and Ti springs become obsolete overnight.

    Foes files for bankruptcy while Romic tries to desperately hang on.

    Sales of steel FS bikes over take aluminum.

    JD leaves the biking scene, moves to Germany and becomes a star hairdresser.

    Don't laugh - but I once drew up (for a paying customer) a full-carbon trailer for the Porsche
    SportBoat, to be towed by a 911. The thing was to have carbon springs, chassis, hitch, axles, etc,
    with an S-Glass fairing for the hull to reduce drag. And this was in 1990. The idea never went
    anywhere (pun intended) but I believe his patent for the springs made it through the USPTO intact.

    I actually got that from an interview with Mert I recently read. He also mentioned that vettes have
    fiberglass leaf springs.

    LOL! If you want to change to spring rate, just get them to use a different resin - same layup.

    What about composite coil springs? is it possible (or perhaps it has been done and i don't get
    out enough)?

    Decline? He's still as popular here as ever*.

    Looking at the German charts, it's easy to see why he became a star...

    * - may not actually be true.
