What kind of problems were you experiencing with wishbones? What kind of horsepower would be required to make a swing arm effective? This project looks to be headed towards about 800 HP low 9 / high 8 second ride. From the nature of your comments it sounds like I would be best off with a diagonal link. Thank you for taking time to comment.
