Here is my best thoughts on this, as good as a rear suspended car No, does it help yes. Helps in a few ways,
1. The main reason I have it on my car even with the rear suspension, a typical 4 link/swingarm car lifts the left front tire up and out of the beams, the front suspension leaves both front tires on the ground improving your reaction times.

2. It helps with chassis flex on small bumps on a track, and on the brakes.Not saying you can slam them like you can with a rear suspended car but can get on them harder then a slipjoint or hardtail car. A little safer setup IMO

3. In the pits, your body wont be hurting the next day after one of the tracks that has less then great pits, you really have to hit a hole hard to even feel it.

Most people go the front suspension route because its a cheaper alternative to doing the rear suspension. Diamonds front setup is the nicest out there and works great. If you would like any other info about them feel free to give me a call tomorrow 517-677-6406
