First post, (technically second if you count intro). I have had my '63 SS for, wow almost 5 years now, and haven't done much to it yet. I want to start with suspension and get that tuned in before I start going crazy with HP. My goal is 500 HP at the wheels, with amazing corner carving ability (l like the twisty's). So more of a pro-touring car. I think I will full frame it, but haven't decided on rear suspension design.
I understand that everyone has their own opinion of what is best and why, but what about for this body type?
IRS is great, but heard is more for comfort; 4-link is great heard it has a tendency to bind; 3-link is great heard it offers more quick adjustments on the track; torque arm is ok but heard it's heavy and inferior to 3-link.
Thoughts? I would like to hear any scientific reasoning and logic behind why one is better over another's geometry. With that I leave it to the community. Try to keep it clean and free from bashing each other. And sorry for opening this can of warms again.
