I've built many different styles of 4 link suspension, for front and rear suspensions, but never a "parallel" 4 link with a watts or panhard. I am trying to get into the high 10's without making any more HP, (ran an 11.04 backed up by and 11.06 this year) and traction and launch/chassis/suspension tuning is the way to get this done.
Caltracs would be easy. Thats not my style. Though if time runs out, this is the way I will go.
My inclination is to go with a double triangulated 4 link, but I realize there is likely a reason nobody uses this on the track. A standard parallel 4 link with a panhard bar will likely provide me the strength and handling needed for my application, and be simple to fabricate. I'm not sure if I want to go with some sort of OEM coil, air bags, coilovers, or some combination of the above.
Any input, advice, or experience would be greatly appreciated. There is literally ZERO snow here, and I am getting cabin fever.
