Custom Triangulated 4 Link
Now that I have a few miles on this thing and nothing big has fallen off the car I thought I'd share pics of my triangulated 4 link I built over the summer. I used Del-Sphere Pivot joints from Spohn for the uppers and lowers axel side and polyurethane joints for the front lower link. No squeaks or binding at all but I only have a handful of street miles on it. I tried to build it with as much adjustability as possible to make it street/strip friendly and allow me to set the bars for optimal anti-squat at the track. Lower control arm brackets are some nice pieces from Innovative Race Craft. I was able to make the upper arms about 10" center-to-center by mounting the brackets on the back brace and not the top of the axle tube. Regardless, it's all really tight and took tons of mock up before I could settle on a final design. Gas tank had to go with the rear mounted coil overs but it was a worthwhile sacrifice. Front upper brackets I fab'd out of 3/16" steel. The rears are pieces I modified from aa-mfg (great source for inexpensive suspension brackets and parts).
