Triangulated 4-Bar or 4-bar with watts-linkage?
 

Help me!!!
Which setup works best for roadrace use? I have ladderbars with
coilovers and a panhard bar now. So i guess i´ll stick to the coilovers and rebuild the rest, but which typ of suspension works best?

3-link, since you starting from scratch why have you limited your options to 2 of the lesser ideal designs for that application? Satchell, 3-link, T/A, and truck arm are more ideal than the 4-link or C4L.

Ok, do you have any pictures or know where i can find pics of that typ of setup?
Btw thanx :thumbsup:

from doing my own research and asking about a million questions about the same thing. It turns out that the good stuff is pretty expensive. I myself just decided to stay with leaf springs from hotchkis but I will be bringing them inward a bit and relocate my shocks. Not exactly the best set up but a good ride for handling and driving. Plus the whole thing with shocks cost under $600 not bad when you consider that a 3 link will cost about 3grand and you are more likly going to have to use a 9inch rear.

I would agree with this except for the truck-arm choice. I suppose the best question to ask is how do you plan on using your car? Track only, street only, occasional track day, cruiser, racer?? :)

Also, how much are you willing to cut up on your car and of course, your budget.

Do a search for "3-link" and/or "lateral dynamics"

There will also be a suspension story on all the types in the upcomming April issue of PHR (the next issue to come out in about 4 weeks)

I have looked into the Lateral Dynamics setup and it looks
awesome :thumbsup:
Abit expensive though. I have to look into this a bit
more before i make up my mind. The car will meet both
street and road race course.

The direct answer to your question is a parallel four link with a panhard bar.

Here's an example:

Maybe you could explain the advantage of a PHR over the triangulated upper links?

Also, why would a PHR be more advantageous than a Watt's link?

Knowledge is power :)

4-link
 

win the 4-link set up in the giving away and you are money ahead. :willy: :willy: :willy: :eek:
