Hello all. I've been lurking around he site to a while and there seems to be some really knowledgeable people who are good to help. Well, I have a few questions regarding four link design. I have two projects. One I know will be receiving a four link, more than likely triangulated. It is a '46 Diamond T pickup. The other is my own personal car, a '70 Torino, that will definitely be triangulated as I am unwilling to modify the trunk.

What I'm am wondering if anybody could give me some insight to what kind of numbers I need to look at as far as instant center, roll center, anti-squat and so on. I have a 4 link calculator and have built several off road suspensions and know what to look for on those. I also know what works for a rock Crawler doesn't necessarily work for a street car.
