3 Link/4 Link Rear RX-3 (without removing seats)
 
I have a set of composite springs on order but keep going back and forth on whether to run a 3/4 link on the RX-3. My issues is I don't want to tear up the rear seats for the link mounts. Has anyone been able to do this without the rear seat tear up? Any suggestions? Currently have a narrowed 8.8 Ford but am willing to look at other options.

Thanks
Ryan

I had a Ladder Bar Rx3. U can do it without removing the seats. Just make Boxed channels where they will meet the cross-member.

Really not a fan of a ladder bar my preference would be a 3 link but I just can't get the upper link long enough to be effective without cutting the rear seats up.

Oh, I had a pro-street drag car. I think you're talking about a whole different setup.

fritts 06-26-15 05:12 PM

I order them from Flex Form. Not done yet probably another month.

did you have them made to stock specs?

Yes

Composite Springs and underride traction bars like the vintage mustangs guys use could be simple and effective approach.

Would like to know how they fit the Ford 9" Differential on it and how is attached the suspension to the chassis. But can't find pictures of that part of this car.

Anyone have Idea?

Torque Arm
 
A torque arm is another very good option for a limited space installation of a live axle. Works pretty much like a 3 link, but mounts down low, see pic.

looking nice

If you decide to keep your leaf springs these Caltracs look like an excellent option to control axle wrap. Looks like they make one that fits the RX3 with no modification required.
