Svante,
I did check my car (as JoBy suggested jacking up one side). It does bind but after about 3.5+ degrees of rotation-Which is okay for my use as my ride height is low. I also have access to other (race cars) with longer bars and the rotation was about the same!
What are you looking to do with the car? For street driving maybe a triangular 4-Link would be better which is similar to a GM A-Body, G-Body, and Mustang Fox Body.

I don´t know if the bind itself will make the inspector to fail the car, he said that the car can suffer from roll steer if the bars are too short. So it all sums up how the car performs when he does the road test.
About the triangular 4-link i dont know if i can build like that and pass inspection. They say in the build manual for modified cars that it must be a parallel 4-link with all the bars the same lenght ( preferably 600mm long 23.62" ).
Have you noticed any roll steer issues with your 4-link? What is the lenght on the bars?

Svante, With your skills you wont have any problems making your own. Here are mine. They are welded in to the frame for more tire clearance (if needed). In this photo it is not fully completed-Note the hanging sway bar mount. To get max clearance the sway bar would have to be narrowed-Which I didn't do.

IMHO it drives fine on the street and highway. Would drive much better without the spool and just a regular LSD.

Svante, Strange single adjustable (adjusts rebound-not compression). Double adjustable would be a better choice. While I have taken to the drag strip-It has only gone a best of 12.84 at 108mph. The engine is (kind of) stock (headers-1.6 rockers-that's it).

which spring rate do you have? I was looking at going maybe 275-300lb.
Thanks.
