I saw that on eBay today, it's very different, it looks as if those springs are set up like radius arms. I would love to know how it all works. |

it was all the rage in the 90's along with 3/4 elliptic buggy leaf before people starting doing 4 links & coil overs etc. |

As Atari said, was rage in the 90s in the USA, Pretty much cut a spring pack in half, clamp/bolt to chassi, other end to diff... Was what you seen befor 4 links etc etc |

So its not really any better than a 4 link with coils? |

These things almost always turn out with heaps of rear steer. I dont think its worth the effort to link it then use leaf springs, may aswell coil it while your at it. For how easy a 3/4 is, its probally the cheapest way to get some flex out of the rear. |

It would act the same as a 4link with coils U could pull the leafs out and put coils in it The coils would make it have less flex It would also benifit form a suckdown winch |

spidertrax, (Before they were spidertrax) used to make a 1/4 elliptic kit for sierras. Here's a solidworks drawing of it:  It's an idea that's had its day - it's more complex than required. It can provide massive articulation, for back when massive articulation apparently made cars more capable. Steve. |
