What I came up with is a untested compromise of every thing I absorbed. Sorry there are no numbers to give out did not use them. If you want to design a suspension system start at the corners and work inward at ride height, thats the best way I found.
I'll be watching,

Patrick,
Awesome build.. The Cobra has been on my "Want To Build" list for a long time. I'll be subscribed to your thread.
I know exactly where you are coming from. I have read and researched for a long time. The Holy Grail is obviously not out there or everyone would have the same setup already. I was hoping to extract some information to help the folks that are caught up in the marketing wars and really don't even know where to start looking to develop the headache we have all had. But after a couple asprin and some time, this suspension thing is alot of fun. It is very satisfying to have conceived and built a chassis that meets or exceeds your personal goals for it.
Later,
