The circle track guys do bizarre things with multiple upper links mounted to the same location on one end, with sliders and rubbers and springs in them, so the axle pulls on one under acceleration (big heaps anti squat) and pushes on the other under braking (neutral antidive)... And then it gets even more complicated than that. Good if you're only concerned about a smooth oval and axle motion isn't something you need to worry about except for exploiting it for changing tire loadings.

Move the Panhard lower, and you have basically the same rear suspension NASCAR teams have used since the 60s/70s. Pete Remner Cleveland, Ohio 1984 RX-7 (rallycross thing) 1978 Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver. |

well this took off! lol
my car has a 100" wheelbase and a fare amount of room for longer lower arms stock being about 17 1/2" i do plan to keep the panhard bar or the like right now i have the steeda 5 link i know its not super HD but its paid for.and if its still good later i will out it on the cone crucher 2k v6 http://www.steeda.com/steeda-mustang-5-link-rear-suspension-system-555-2501/ I would rather drive a slow car fast as a fast car slow! first rule of cars: get what makes you happy, your the one paying for it! |

That stadium truck restoration was also on SpecialStage. Looks trick. I drool over the magnesium Dana 60.
But yeah, they settled on that because it works really, really well for their purpose. Just like the equal length 4 link seems to work really, really well for stage rally. Pete Remner Cleveland, Ohio 1984 RX-7 (rallycross thing) 1978 Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver. |

I believe your wheelbase is 100.5" so 6% longer...the question becomes "is there room to position the boxes such that I can go to longer links than the 94.5" car did?" Tape measure center of rear spindle/hub to just aft of the rear or the seat.. The longer the better...less arc, more predictable.

I confirmed today i have 30" from the center of the rear axle to the leading edge of the rear seat, at this point i will be adding a subframe connector from the rocker panel the front to rear subframe connector that the cage will be built on.
