There are tons of people that use his products on the street. I think that warning is just a general liability disclaimer. I haven't heard of anyone having a problem with any Spohn parts.

It is just a disclaimer in case he sells stuff to a dumba$$ that almost kills himself. It is the US afterall. The land of getting millions for being STUPID!! (silling coffee on yourself) He has to do this to cover his butt!

Almost all racing racing/performance products have liability statements on them like that. You are making your car faster, have a stiffer suspension for handling, yadda yadda yadda. Speeding and turning hard can cause accidents which can kill or injur you are bystanders, and the company that you buy your parts from doesnt want to be responsible for your actions while using their products.

it's all about lialibilty and not the quality or fittness for use of the parts
