attn suspension gurus: the twins rear suspension

[nealtovsen@yahoo.com (Neal)]

I would definitely check out some books by Carrol Smith
(http://www.carrollsmith.com/). Specifically _Tune to Win_ and _Engineer to
Win_. This guy is **THE** guru. Period.

I don't claim to know all about roll centers and stuff like that (though I'm
learning!). I do know that this stuff is really complicated, and can become
a safety issue. Do all the reading you can before you break out the welder.
