Make it handle

I'm going to have to do some reading....

Great thread BTW.

The questions I have are related to materials. Where does one find the right tubing and end links for fabricating things like rear end linkage?

Mabye it's covered in the recommended reading earlier in this thread.

Of course it probably makes sense to buy off the shelf on some items. Nothing like making your own pieces though.

We can sell you any of the necessary parts to make your own linkage and or make recommendations to help you out.

Can't you just move to okc so I can work off materials and learn something as I go? Lol

I can't seem to find the books mentioned earlier on learning suspension. Anyone got the names of them?

Google Herb Adams "Chassis Engineering" and you will get several hits.

Google "Carroll Smith". He has written several good books inlcuding Tune to Win, and Engineer to Win. These are great books that will really open your eyes and understaning. After the books, purchase a suspension analyzer program. Rob mentioned a great one earlier in the thread "Front Suspension Geometry Pro". It's a great and affordable program, just over $100. I bought one several years ago and even bought the new version a couple months back to see how I liked it. I also have some more expensive software including Bill Mitchell's WinGeo... It's more complicated to use.
