what springs and techniques are good for a homebrew 1/4 elliptic?? I have my tri-3-link set up and i am debating how to suspend the rear end. i can go either coils or 1/4 elliptic....sorry no pics yet....but soon!!!

I made it by myself using 11X50mm leaves, same thickness as OEM ones

:rolleyes: my, now THAT was helpful. why bother replying at all, if you're not at least going to mention what the springs were from? what, did you forge the steel yourself too?
were they from a Renault Le Car?
a '68 vw Thing? did you find them in a field?
jeez.:rasta: :flipoff2: just kidding, but c'mon don't be so stingy with the details, if you have a cool set up, share for the guy.:beer:

Were made for a springs shop under my specs. It was really a trial and error thing, I started with 5 leaves with much more arch and finished with 11 with less arch.

I will send you more pictures to your E-Mail, please publish them.
