OK, just make all the links the same length and keep them parallel. If you don't care about handling ladder bars are cheaper and easier. |

I do care about handling. That is why I am looking for the 4 link setup.... so it can be done the rite way  I saw an article in custom rodder magizine where they bagged a 53 pontiac using a 4 link rear and that is what gave me the idea to research and to go this route of bagging my Valiant.

Might I recommend any one of many fine General Motors products for said lowness? That Valiant is not the car you are looking for. So help me, Obi-wan.

The 4 link has a lot of handling prowess over springs, especially for quarter mile use. I think you misinterpreted, the springs and cal-tracs will do everything neccessary for a slant, for 10 seconds cars you start to ride a bull not a car. The 3 link has a superiority in autocross use, though I still don't completely understand. The 4 link your thinking of is a Air-Ride set-up, I believe it essentially replaces the shocks and springs for a bag set-up. My suggestion is to find a way to buy a kit like that, I'm crazy, but that's a big project even for me. |

If you want an air bag setup you should be able to get some kind of kit or at least a good plan from the companies that make the air rides. I helped do an air ride on a '51 Chvy panel truck. If you have decent fab skills and a good welder it is not that bad.

Yeah, I'm just messin' with ya. As long as no one steals my car in order to "pimp my ride", I'm all good. |

If you want to bag the rear of the car, I would check out the Airride Technologies kit for the first gen Mustang. If it fits a Mustang, it can be adapted to a Valiant. |
