I am not quite finished with this build yet but it will be at Spring Fling this year. Alterktion and 4 link. i did not do this with intention of racing but I did want a good handling suspension and I think this set up will fill that bill.

Curious, what are the specs on the 2 lower control arms on that rear end set-up, tube dia, thickness, joint thread size, joint bolt size if different, steel or CM, if you don't mind. Looks too nice to drive.

What's the matter with the stadium parking lot? Got a picture? Autocross uses parking lots a lot.

I bought this set up from RMS and I think he just re-sells Air Ride Technologies stuff. I have no specs like you are asking for but you might get them from www.ridetech.com
I did not have this awesome of a project in my minds eye when I started, it sort of evolved but I absolutely intend to drive this car. I have been staring at it for 5+ years and I am SOOOOOOO over just looking at it. It will be fun to talk to folks about it.

Triangulated 4 link is what my car used from the factory... Not a bad setup for a factory setup, but if I was going from scratch think I would go with a 3 link and watts link. (You could get your roll center and what not dialed right in that way, along with locating the rear better and not have any binding issues either.)

The asphalt surface is awful, tire shredder awful.

Oahu SCCA uses the stadium parking lot- no thanks. I'll be relocating to the west coast in the not-to-distant future. In the meantime I'll keep making mods to the car, there's more I want to do to it.
Spring Fling Speed Festival is April 3, 2014 !!
Would love to have you share in the fun.
Would love to, just not this year. I'm looking into relocating to the Portland/Vancouver area, but only after my wife finishes college. -pauly

Darius and Pauly have very cool cars. I would be more than happy to run them for some evaluation laps... I built this Charger for a friend of mine. Those are 125 mph certified mudflaps Eats SRT8 Challengers on the road course.
