Actually i will not know it is "perfect" until i get it scaled and determine the correct Center of Gravity and the percentage weight of the rear. Those measurements will move that little green window and the diganol line going from the bottom of the rear tire to the front of the car. Basically what i was shooting for is a grouping of intersect points in a certain area...

I dont know **** about 4links. So I guess once you get the weights of the front and rear axles thatll give you your CGS and you want the angles of the bars to make those extrapolated lines to intersect at that point?

Little update with the build:
I am buying 2 new welders a mig and tig in 2 weeks. My old mig wont pentrats the thickness of the material i will be welding and the tig is for a new fuel cell/tank.
My current fuel cell is a POS and i want to redo it in stainless. So that is one of the reasons for the tig. A buddy i work with has the machinery to bend any gauge/thickness i want sooo i will be having him bend up the tank to my specs and i will be adding correct bafflings.
The 4-link is coming along. Joesph is will be cutting the brackets for me over the next week or so. Also he recommended a wishbone setup instead of a diagonal link which i will start designing shortly.
Soo work will start back up in a few weeks once parts and tools become available. I am planning to install everything the week after christmas since it is going to take tons of prep work and if my welding skills dont improve i am gonna pay a buddy to finish welding everything for me to be safe. I am usually all about doing things myself but sometimes you just have to let the pros take over to be safe.

I thought with 4-links you want to get the lower bars as parallel to the ground as possible?
Although, looking at the graph again, I guess when you get on it and the back lifts it might straighten the bars up some.
