The PSM knuckle is designed with a true 25mm drop so your ride height can be kept low while still maintaining generous bump travel. The PSM knuckle also has built in provisions for dual Wilwood calipers.
Getting the roll center right is a big secret toward making an S chassis stable in drifting. Too low of a roll center makes the car twitchy when running a grippy setup. The PSM knuckle does a really good job of getting the roll center right even at low ride heights.
The rear shocks are PSM 3-way adjustable coil overs with independent adjustment for high and low speed compression and rebound damping. If you were worried about the springs being plated and hydrogen embrittlement causing them to fatigue quickly or crack, fear not, that is actually powdercoating.
The rear spring rate is 7kg which is stiffer than what most S chassis guys run in the rear. Matt has given a lot of R&D time to perfect the valving and the spring rates of the PBM suspension and it shows, his car is fast and can pull off some amazing stuff.
The Speedway unit uses a solidly locked spool instead of a limited slip differential. The pro field is split on this as many of the top teams are going back to limited slips after almost exclusively running spools for the last few years.
Matt's unique pedal to the metal driving style dictates an unusual gearing strategy. Matt gears a lot higher than most of the other pros and runs a lot of wheel speed, typically twice the actual speed of the car Leaving the pedal to the floor, he uses angle and wheel speed to slow the car, kind of like vectored thrust on a boat or fighter plane! The extreme wheel speed also makes for quite a smoke and noise show.
