Vehicle-Specific Development
One Philosophy. Platform-Specific Geometry.
The principles behind ACD chassis development can be applied across many classic vehicle platforms without requiring those vehicles to share the same suspension geometry or chassis dimensions.
Where appropriate, C7 front and rear uprights can provide a common modern foundation. The surrounding suspension is then developed specifically for the vehicle.
Control-arm lengths and angles, suspension pickup points, track width, steering geometry, coilover placement and motion ratios, ride height, suspension travel, wheel and tire packaging, drivetrain location, chassis structure, and body clearances can all change from one platform to another.
That flexibility is particularly important in the restomod market. A classic Corvette, muscle car, pony car, pickup, and early SUV may all be expected to deliver modern driving characteristics, but the chassis required to achieve that goal can be substantially different.
ACD's objective is not to make one suspension architecture fit everything. It is to use the same disciplined development process to determine what works best for each vehicle.
The development process remains consistent. The resulting chassis does not have to be.
