Specs on subframes?

touring67,
Thanks, I was hoping it would come across as pretty neutral since I don't have hands on experience with three link suspensions.



Salt Racer makes a good observation that if a somewhat torsionally "weak" subframe were tied in to a roll cage, it would probably be much stiffer than a stock sub unbraced. I agree with everything he has posted here. I think we both agree we wouldn't design a car from scratch with leaf springs but a highly developed leaf car is not that far behind a car with a three link but you can't tune a leaf setup very easily.

Look at a third or fourth gen Camaro with coil rear suspension, there is more room behind the axle for the exhaust and fuel tank.
