Ron Sutton Offset 3-Link install
 
The goal of this thread is to document Ron Sutton's 3 link design.

I'm just getting started, but basically it's this -

plus this -

In an effort to create this -

I chose Ron's offset design because it's the best trade off (for me) of performance, serviceability, and ability to doghouse the third / center link. Ron uses hardcore race stuff and incorporates his own ideas - like a trunk mounted roll center adjustment - to make it unique in our segment. Plus, the man can design and identify areas of concern in 10 minutes using just a tape measure. I'm like, "Cool! Slow down!" :lol: Seriously, the value equation is off the charts.

The car is at Tolle Fab in Sacto and so far it's a pleasure dealing with Mike Tolle in between his World Challenge, ALMS and Indy car projects :D

Still collecting parts and I'll try to get plenty of pics along the way.

:cheers:

Wow!! That looks like a very nice setup, question is this a street car or more of a race car? Will this rear setup work on the street?? Can't wait to see and here more!
