Posted by Fostang (Member # 3752) on :

FREEBIE


well hell yeah I can say FREEBIE [Whoo Whooooo!]

Hell if we set something up like that I will defenatly take you guys to get some beers (atleast) maybe even a shower show at C-folds. [patriot]

I really don't think it'll work how he has planned for the air bags since the actual travel is sort of limited. There are plenty of 4 linked cars doing what he's planning on doing. It's very important on how he mounted the airbags. A canterlever set up will yield up to 10 inches more of travel depending on how it is installed. Compared to a set up in which the bag is directly on the rear and to the frame.

sorry if joe is pullin your chain on the freebie part but yes i am still debating on what to do cause i have two projects going on at the same time and i am more concerned with what to do with the fronts first. i have the saleen slotted 13"fronts and the cobra 13"fronts and i havent decided which car gets what, on the rear you are right on the limited suspension travel and there really is no way to figure that out unless i bolt it in the car and put the wheels on it with no springs to see if it does what i want it to do. If i dont like it you or joe will be the first to know.

[worship] FREEBIE [worship] LOL [Razz]

Let me know but I would still go with a canterlever set up for your rear. You'll get so much more travel using that. Think about it and let me know.
