[QUOTE="black 10th vert, post: 9280790, member: 65729"] I have the Hans in my vert, and after extensive research, came to the conclusion that they are the best for my needs. As to the guy making the comparison with the Griggs setup... well, if you are building a full-on track whore, then the Griggs is definitely the best, but for an all around great setup, the Hans is hard to beat. I get the point about the orientation of a truss-type design (I am a design engineer). The part that you are not looking at, though, is the Hans truss design is not intended to add strength in the same manner as your example of a bridge truss. There are other forces at play, where this design will be very beneficial - namely, twisting/torsion. If you have these installed with the rear STB, and a good front setup, you have a fully connected perimeter frame that will work as a "unit". It is more the sum of the parts, than the individual rails that make the package complete. Like JymBart pointed out, just the extra bracing along the rockers makes them worthwhile, even if it didn't help with the torsional rigidity at all! [/QUOTE]
