Long A arms that cross over the chassis centerline?
Thought I had posted this idea before but could not find the thread.
Maybe it was another forum.
Sitting around on a cold day day today, staying inside, and looking out the window at my Trick-6 body.
Not satisfied with the very short rear A arms I will be forced to use unless I come up with something fairly radical for the IRS.
Looked up the Ford "Twin I Beam" system which verified that something similar has been done commercially.
So my idea should just be a matter of clever packaging.
I easily understand the draw of longer arms, less change in camber for the same movement.
My likely suspension parts have upgraded? to "Mustang/Wilwood" brake bits with vented rotors from a bent Alfa-Romeo race car.
This forces me to change to larger 15" wheels
but also allows much bigger brakes.
I also got some NASCAR type hollow torsion bars so may be able to eliminate coil springs, if I have enough ground clearance.
Drivetrain is a warmed up Buick 231" V6/V8 WCT5 and Merkur diff.
Not crazy LS power but certainly enough to get me in trouble.
Just a street car but I do want to hill-climb it and run the Silver State Challenge so superior handling/braking is a must.
Going to look around for some material to make models from as that will be easier than getting back up to speed on CAD.
