Rear Suspension
Response to groovyjay. I like your approach to the C3-R, especially the Guldstrand 5-link. I used a C-4 outer bearing carrier, but the geometry is basically the 5-link that GM adapted from the Guldstrand and Greenwood 5-links. I used much longer, adjustable forward links to cut down on the roll steer, and the toe link is adjustable vertically at both ends to adjust bump steer. The Driveshaft Shop built the custom rear half shafts and the stub axles are from Tom's Differential (heat treated). I have just redesigned the bracket for the inboard pick-up points for the lower strut rod -- I am using upper control arm adjustment "slugs" to facilitate multiple vertical mounting points (to change roll center and camber gain) without the change in strut rod length that eccentric cams cause.
