Chris, how has the design worked out as far as the coil over rear with trailing arms. Have you tried it out on the track...can you please post some pics...as your was judged best engineer car at the Nats.....

It was runner up

I haven't tried it out, but I have been for a bit of a fang, and the car seems to handle pretty good. I might need a small rear sway bar as it oversteers a little (but that could be power related).

I just realised my website is lacking photos of the rear end. I'll sort that out. I'll find some photos and advise this thread when it's done. Maybe tomorrow or the next day.

I'm planning colilover rears and trailing arms for my coupe (inc panhard and swaybar)
Keen to see some pics of yours to see if my mental image is on the right track

Then I have to adapt some to the IRS in my other coupe....... one day

do you mean a smaller rear sway bar?
if you don't currently have one, adding a rear bar one will only make the oversteer worse.

I remember that when fellas were trying to get the coil Sunny's to handle they were switching them back to leaf springs as per 1200's. It seems as though the coil overs would be heaps better from an engineering point of view but I would like to see the lap time difference in a race 1200 with the only change being leaf to coil overs. Any one got experience with that?

For drifting maybe but correcting oversteer with a rear sway bar no matter how small diameter is really wishful.
