1. How far should I space the lower control arms from the tire sidewall to prevent it from making contact under high cornering loads? I know spacing your control arms out as far as possible makes for a more stable rear suspension but too far and you start running into clearance issues. I have a 285/35/18 on a 10.5in wheel, 1 1/4in clearance looks good but I am unsure and looking for suggestions. 2. How much of a difference will the 3 link compare to the 4 link in terms of handling and straight line performance? I have read that the 4 link is more prone to binding up than the 3 link. I am using 3/4 heim joints with high misalignment bushings and 24.5inch long control arms equal length upper and lowers, should I expect any kind of bind with the 4 link setup?
3. Offsetting the upper link on a 3 link can help cancel out driveshaft torque to help keep the car straight on launch/under acceleration. How does offsetting the upper link affect braking?
4. I am using a winters championship quick change rear axle and have really been scratching my head as how I could use a watts linkage that mounts centrally to the frame and the links extend out to the axle tubes. The spur gear housing is right in the middle of the works and kind of screws that all up. Is it worth the headache to make a watts fit instead using a panhard bar? Looking forward to some replies thanks.
