Thread: Rear susp question

Tweet

I'm building a 51 Dodge business coupe, I installed a triangulated 4 link, coil overs, and a 70 Camaro 8.5 10 bolt. It was just going to be a cruiser but now I plan on a good bit more power and a lot more tire in the rear. I guess a semi pro street build. I've been looking at 4 bar set ups and I don't really see anything that is stout enough. I would think you'd have flex with the poly ends on a wheels up launch. This will see some strip use and I don't want something that will keep you guessing on which way it'll go when it leaves the line. I've ran 4 links on drag cars, moly heim joints and so forth, how much harshness and noise would I get on the street with 1 of these? There will be insulation and carpet so that'll help, I just don't want nothing that will jar your teeth out. Anybody got any suggestions? I just want something stout and safe. I've always had strip only cars and after 4 yrs of no racing, I'd like to have something to play with.

What E.T. are you building for?

It should be in the 650 HP range. Maybe more later, so it should run in the 10's.
