Sounds like you are as rich as I am. When I started this project I was hoping I would have it near completed before I had kids. Anyway...... Thanks for the post and be expecting a PM. I have read that building a 3-link is a little more forgiving than a 4-link. . That should get a few people to chime in.

If anyone is interested I'll post a DXF of where I'm at right now. It doesn't have much detail but I'm mainly using it to get the geometry right so I can cut the mounting brackets.

I finished one in my mustang a few weeks ago just before it began to snow. Drove it around and it feels better than the stock four link anyway. I'm steering too much in the same turns I'm used to driving on.

The bad news is the books used for drawings of the anti-squat were wrong, and I have more than I wanted. Seems okay so far. Goosed it on dry roads and it just gets up and goes. Seems like no squat at all.

There's also a clunk on big bumps. I'll re-engineer it in the spring. That's the price you pay to save thousands.

Yes I tried that and it gave me strange results and I told him. He realized there was a mis-type in there. Should work now. He has set it up for one link below, two above.

Also check the program links at the bottom of my page in the first post.
