Multi Link IRS

Hello,

I am using BMW E60 M5 rear hubs for another car I am building and was wondering if anyone used 4 individual control links for the rear suspension rather than a lower wishbone and two upper control links.

I am thinking of using this setup so I can achieve maximum adjustability in the suspension as it will need to be changed regularly. Push rods are used for the actual connection to the coilover and these come from the original mounting hole in the hub so they do not interfere with the control link.

What is everybody elses opinion on this, would strength be an issue?

I'm not sure whether this answers your question or raises new ones, but how will it work with regards to power transmission? My limited suspension knowledge only extends to multi link IRS where there is a solid axle involved.

Have you got a picture/drawing of your idea? I don't quite see how you would rigidly locate a rear upright with four separate links and no wishbones.

isn't it just 2 separate arms instead of a regular top wishbone?
Overcomplication IMO
