how is that design not strong enough for use? I mean, I can see how the top pivot point is abit on the skinny side but with the right materials and welds, it could be very strong :D
I plan on making something of my own like this as well and I'm looking for suggestive suspension setups.
Might you have any guidance/advice for me?

very injanuative

I'm not that clued up on suspension really, could you explain the advantages of using pushrods rather than the regular set up?

Sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable about them. The main reason is I got these Hyabusa shocks for free and wanted to use them on the car, instead of buying $400 shocks for each corner. The 'busa shocks are short...only 2" of travel. Very difficult to use in a conventional A-arm installation. So I went pushrod to turn the 2" into 5.5" of wheel travel. Don't know if it will work..., the car isn't even a roller yet.

I recently found some good coilovers for under $200 a pop. Both QA1 and Koni have similar offerings. I'd probably just buy those if I were to do it again. It wouldn't be much more money, would be lighter overall, I believe, and far simpler to install and be pretty sure of getting it right. Lower unsprung weight, to boot.
