Rear Suspension Geo?

Um, I thought this topic would have been so widely covered, however I've searched, searched and searched.

I've never come across the type of rear suspension the FC has in the rear before ever and never been able to see it in real life either, I can't find pics. The only one I could find was in the general brochures for the car and was so small I couldn't see a thing.

Also, If I've read correctly these cars have a passive rear steer, which I'll guess is by squat, so how do you guys lower and correct this? ( I really really can't find info on this, I swear I've searched.)

And, btw, im a BRAND new member, been lurking for a while.... Um I click to register and the computer tells me I'm already a member? I've never been here before and neither am I trill99, I can't beleive this thing worked when I got so tired of trying to figure out how to make my comp not think im a current member and clicked on Post and it actually worked... *lol*


edit: and I'm actually in TO, I don't know anybody in NY and don't beleive ANYONE on this board has somehow been on my comp before...

Well, it's basically a rear trailing arm with a radius rod with a strut. But, they made it complex by adding in the rear steering system that works by lateral G's. It starts to work at a pretty low force... i think around .4G's and it works by compressing a rubber bushing. The system is really not that great and makes the rear end feel like its sliding when its not... I have mine eliminated.
