Proturing or roadrace rear suspension

HemiDenny said

Just curious.....How is the torque arm tuneable?

Would not the reason to install a different suspension for ANY kind of racing is to be able to tune (for bite) the rear suspension for different tracks / varying conditions?

I am curious about the other brands also.....I see a lot of hardware...but no real ability to change much (other than ride height) if needed once it is installed.

Just want in to learn.....

I agree.

For Those Interested, you need to check out Lateral G Forums. Auto x dedicate forums. One of the members, Ron Sutton, builds race suspensions, very knowledgable and pretty much provides a well written write up of suspensions and how to design them for whatever purpose you like.

I talked with him a lot, I decided on a parallel 4 link, fully adjustable rear suspension since it will handle and plant the power for drag racing and yet be able to adjust it for auto X and road racing.

If you're going to strictly road race it, a torque arm like above or a 3 link with panhard or Watts bar would be best.
