      Your comment is paradoxical. By throwing around an epithet like "armchair expert" you are asserting that you yourself are an expert capable of judging the FACTS and CALCULATIONS presented in the video as being true and accurate. Yet you simultaneously insist that nobody else is capable of judging the FACTS and CALCULATIONS and pointing out errors. So you and the guy in the video are the only two people on UA-cam who understand physics or suspension and you are both infallible. He did make FACTual errors in the video. Most notably when he said pushrod suspension reduces unsprung weight. Anything that moves with the wheel is partially unsprung weight. That includes the pushrod and bellcrank. Bolting the coilover across the top of the chassis doesn't make it less a part of the unsprung weight than bolting it directly to the control arm.

Physics wins every time and your patience to educate all the bro's on Reddit and on your channel is extremely appreciated and very valuable. It's never about right or wrong, it's what matters most to making it work properly in the end. Thank you for patiently explaining the suspension design, calculations and formulas, and the graphs in Excel you used to make sure you were within the limits of your design. I am eagerly awaiting to see you race your E55 ASL track monster once your project is all finished. :) Say the word and I'll be there.

      In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, in practice there is - Yogi Berra.
      This project use physics - where you try to describe the reality through a model, opposite of math that is kept pure theoretical. The reality always win, and the models is always adjusted to the world you observe, this is empiricism and why sceince is evolving. Theory is a shortcut to easen the work, foresight reality and avoid failure.

    Also, thanks for the explanation of the heim joint orientation. I was curious at the start why horizontal was better, more from a consideration of available travel compared to mounting vertically. I hadn't considered that the stress on the ball/socket interface from the longitudinal force on the suspension would be significantly higher compared to having them horizontal.

Where this guy is using 12mm rod ends, they used 8mm! Admittedly their fabrication is more aero grade. I reckon your safety factors have a safety factor ;-)

    front suspension mounts/ball joints do not look strong enough for CASTER type loads, Especially because SLA suspensions usually have a positive scrub radius, your scrub radius looks very negative.... The greater the scrub radius (positive or negative), the greater the steering effort and the more load it puts on parts and you get more road shock, pivot binding, torque steer, 0 degrees of scub is also bad it will wiggle, 17:44 your changing your scrub radius/ Steering axis inclination/ mechanical leverage
