Thanks to all. I did recognize Rich's idea as a Watts linkage, but found the design interesting because he eliminated the need for a long bracket by locating the pivot point above the differential centerline. Bruce mentioned "Tune to Win," wherein I slapped myself on the forehead, found the largely unused bookcase, pulled out my copy and blew the dust off of it. I've got some studying to do. I will consider dearching the leafs. Up to this point, I was just going to lower using blocks, but I remember watching Roger Davis' Alpine (ex-Nick/Donna Chadd - has dearched springs) at several races and he has no problem going around corners flatly. Hard bushings? Where? How? Who?

Regards

Mike
