When you ask for free advice, you get what you pay for. And on the internet, lots of guys who have done nothing more then watch Nascar will tell you all day long how it really is.
Most people are only going to say nice things because that is what we are taught to do. The other 90% of people really have no idea what they are looking at. Except the nice welds and the parts are super cool.
I will agree this suspension does not need "toe links" as set up, but I really think the spindle as used in this design will be a weak link with the lower plate bolted to the spindle. I also think the cantilever arm could upon droop of the suspension go over center and and lock up the suspension when it is allowed to travel over center of the link. I also think that the positioning of the push rod on the spindle will limit your rear tire width unless your running like a 24" rear wheel. If that push rod link was connected to the lower control arm it would allow you to have a much longer link and allow you to run a much wider rear wheel. Plus the link would not be as apt to go over center on droop. I hope I'm totally wrong and look like an idiot when it is all done, but that is my opinion.
