Anyone with a 4 link calculator willing to help a brother out? Pm me or email me at jmminzen@gmail.com

I used to use the quick & dirty online I/C calc. at Induction Motorsports.com. Haven't used in a long time though so I'm not sure if it's still up on the site or not.

I just checked & the one at Induction Motorsports doesn't work for me anymore (but it just could be my new computer's browser settings).


The one at Baseline Suspensions is very similar (simple/basic) to the Induction Motorsports one. I just checked & it worked on my computer.

Billy Shope's site has one too that works.

Thanks. I got the first one to work. It was a java application so it was prob just your settings. A car that we help with has a very good setup but needs to change tire size for one race and we just want to keep everything the same in the setup so I needed to know what to do with the arms to do that. Seemed very easy. I guess we'll see!

I have never seen two "4 link" vehicles react the same unless they were both constructed on the same jig; and even then they are usually slightly different reacting. Exclamation

I have one on an Excel Spreadsheet that works great, more options that any I've seen, even where the upper and lower bars may have and inward or outward angle on them. It was created for off road but will work on anything. If you would like a copy send me an email address in a PM.

It is the same car. we are just changing tire sizes and I wanted to get it in the ballpark before we took it to the track and then adjust from there.
