Looks good, did you use a coil kit, or design it yourself?

So, here's my question about coil suspensions(yes, I'm a bit old skool) : Do you have to ever worry about mangling your links? Seems like they would be vulnerable, since they are so long. I know they have to be long to work well, but are they beefy enough to slide up stuff with them? :eek:

Is the correct term for them Panhard bar?

Thanks :D

The panhard bar is the link that controls side to side moevments. On four link designs without sufficent triangulation you would need a panhard bar. They are also used up front to tighten up the steering when folks add a lotta extra linkages, like missing links, revolvers, etc.

You can sometimes bend (intentionally) the lower control link to gain clearance. See the first picture in this thread for an example.
