    Rear Suspension - alignment and rejigging

    Semi trailing arm rear end, BMW did a lot with this system but it seems to be a neglected area as far as the S130 and Z31 goes. Particularly in regard to changing the arm's sweep angle, as distinct from merely changing camber. There is some good info in this thread, see particularly the BMW link http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=156191

    And for anyone who doubts what a strut front end, semi trailing arm rear end car is capable of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiBoP7tcG_s[/video]]

    Takes a lot of confidence to drive the way Patrick Snyers did in that video.


    The FC guys have also done a lot of work with the semi trailing arm. Its just a matter of how much fuss you want to put into it. Good link, I will sit down and read more of it tonight.
