control freaks is the way to go
rms copy.
Round tube is stronger just for starters. The RMS unit has a TON of welding in it, and each weld joint puts heat in the material making for an even weaker tube, and then add to that the mounting points of the RMS unit are a square tube cut off, and using the one wall of the tube...A little weird to me. We wont mention the "design" to mount the coilovers.
Again, no disrespect to Bill...I know he sells alot of these.
Actually, welding does not weaken it, it strengthens it.
Any weld if done properly is stronger than the parent material.
Looking at the pictures side by side, the RMS looks like a tank and the Control Freaks has the look of finesse.
As an added comment, in the newest Mopar Action magazine (August - wtf, its only May) there's a 3 page review of RMS in the Tech Section (with illustrations) that doesn't speak very highly of the RMS design, pointing out some questionable characteristics of the suspension. I would guess that those same comments would probably apply to Control Freaks as well, since they look pretty much the same (except tank vs finesse). But, maybe not.
I think anyone considering an RMS front end should read that article.
that clown has been bashing the alter-k and all tube k-members for years now. he is obsessed for some reason.
i know for a fact that chrysler engineers built a duster to take over seas to do some racing and they used an alter-k. we are talking chrysler engineers here.
as far as the rms and control freak goes. yes the control freak is a direct copy of the alter-k only in round tube. i remember a guy with a blue dart bragging about buying an alter-k and having his buddy copy it for him. it was posted on moparts years ago. personally give me the square tube. its beefy and holds up to street abuse.
Hemi Denny has been building these for 20+ years and is a member here, he is considerability cheaper than the others and offers more options.
For those that are curious, here is the HemiDenny K.
