alright before i am told to ill stary by saying i have and havent ocme up with the information i need...

I am looking to create my own suspension parts with the welder I plan to purchace....Not JUST a STB and SFC...but I am wanting to actually make my own tubular LCA's, make a steering brace, Panhard bar, possibly torque arm, drive shaft loop, etc...EVERYTHING suspension related I am looking to create on my own...does anyone have the specific specs for these parts...the length's and diamiters etc needed or even autocar draftings or some such thigns as that so that I can start working on these....

thank you

 

i think the best way to do it would be to get under your car and pull a tape on it. look at how the parts are made and copy or modify the design to suit your application.

 

IF you a building from scratch, the stock deminsions can be improved upon.

 

I've considered making my own STB and LCA re-loc brackets. The aftermarket LCAs are the same length as the stockers.

 

You do realize of course that you're asking for somebody to just gift you what otherwise would take an enormous amount of effort and money to generate, and which in fact they would have already spent to get that info; and which would then allow you to take their painstaking research and use it to compete against them.... you might get lucky, but don't be too surprised if you get no offers.

This is what makes one company's parts better than another's: the quality and thoroughness of the research they did. How good do you want your parts to be?

 

Agreed, that's why the only two I had considered were a STB and the LCA re-loc brackets. Those should be easy to come up with, just unbolt the LCA, drop the end of it 3" and measure where it is. Then take a few more measurements and make it from there. All it is is welding a few small pieces of stock together with some holes drilled...which is probably why Spohn sells them for only $65.

Its almost not even worth the bother with a steering brace (AKA wonderbar) seeing as you can pick them up for $50-60 shipped.

 

You can not build your own rod link tubes as inexpensively as you could just buy from Coleman racing. You'll spend more on just the materials alone before even getting to fabbing them.

 

You could always try to buy used stock items from the thirdgen.org classifieds, then you can measure them all you want without having to remove 'em from your car first. I'm pretty sure there were a few guys on here that were selling their stock control arms & panhard rods & etc...
