Just ran across the Umbrella Auto Design VRH System and I'm intrigued. I tried searching but haven't found a lot about it yet, hence the link to a NSX forum. Has anyone dealt with these or know anymore about the system?
I'm looking at this for an Infinti G35 thats set-up for road course racing but is also street driven. I could only run the front kit, which in reality is all one should need anyways. I think this could be very useful to me with the conditions of our roads and parking lots in my local area, plus making it easier to load the car into the trailer for track weekends let alone getting a jack under the car. Unfortunately it would be added weight, but I'm not too worried since its just fun for me.
I understand how it works, I'm just worried about how it will hold up against track time. They claim it doesn't affect handling or performance, which I can see being valid although I'm skeptical until I see it in action, but I'm worried about how they will hold up to the added stress and pressure from the track.
I'm also curious about the construction inside the cup sleeve. I'm assuming there is a small bag inside the cup similar to the bag used in air bag suspension just on a smaller scale, but what what comes in contact with the spring? Is it an aluminum plate or the bag itself?
It looks as if the company originally designed this for the new Skyline GTR so I would assume they designed it for track use, but who knows.
