As some of you know I am building a full 1.5" DOM round tube chassis under a 70 Challenger. I'll be the first to admit I am a fabricator, and know jack crap about suspension design. Looking for someone with some smarts to design me a 3 or 4 link rear suspension for my car. Its a clean slate, you give me the details, and I make the chassis fit the rear suspension. Whats the best setup for a driver cara, that gets beat on constantly. Also the car will be on air, using Airride Tech shockwaves.

Suspension design can take 40+ hours of hard work. You may want to consider offering something in return.

I'm willing to throw some cash, give credit on the build sheet for the car and at SEMA, and also dinner and drinks or something similar at SEMA, run the hills, or Year one event!!!

Airride can't help you with that?

Mopars are easy, with a few guide lines and specific mounting points you should be able to make a set up yourself. Is the loss of the back seat center hump an issue?

What are you looking for? A light weight suspension? A beefy suspension for the strip? A suspension with good geometry? A blinged out suspension with push rods and 4way dampers?

I'm a mechanical engineer and am currently working on building v.2 of my firebird. Allthough the site is in Swedish, the pictures might give you an idea...

I don't do it for free though, but I'm sure we can agree of something. Do you have access to CNC mills or lathes? ;)

This is full frame car, there are no floor in it as we speak. And its completly a clean slate. There will be no back seat so that is not a issue. I am looking for a nice geometry beefy suspension for road race and street. Its a pro touring car with c5 front suspension
