Optimizing 4-link ride comfort
How much improvement in suspension compliance and ride comfort can be obtained by lengthening the bars as long as possible on a parallel 4-link setup? Any difference in compliance with watts link vs panhard bar? Has anyone used the rubber rod ends at all junction points versus the heim joint rod ends? I planned to use a ridetech coilover with their 5” travel shock and a 12” 175 in/lb spring. ridetech has told me there is no difference in ride quality between an air spring and a coilover if the ride height remains static. Is this true? I have a bad back and I’m trying to make my C10 ride like a 70s Cadillac, with the option of fine tuning the shock stiffness to dial in front/rear road manners.
