Well, Katz did get Art's '55 to out perform the stock C4 using this rear suspension and C4 front suspension....but I don't know how he had it setup compared to their off the shelf kit, I guess there's proof it can work though!!

Yeah, that's who I was going to talk to of course

I guessed that was what the 55 was running but didn't know for sure. I'd be pretty happy with that sort of performance.

I'm interested to hear his thoughts on it. He doesn't hang around here though.

The tri 4-bar that we used on the GT55 project build is the same thing that we use on our chassis. There were no "tricks" that we used to get this to work. Katz lowered the upper bars down to the C/L of the housing to reduce the roll center. Packaging wise, the tri 4-bar works great on the 55 chassis and no mods are required to the floor!

The front was our own IFS design and not C4......

Hope this helps!
