      Clean Slate! Design me a rear suspension!!

      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.

      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
