4 link boxes again
on my saxo track car ive started to fit the 4 link boxes on the back of the car but does it really matter if the link bars are not
parallel to the road. as i think that when i fit the de dion they might be angled down just a bit to get the right ride height could i get away with
it.

How much do you think they will be angled down Adam?

you need to read up about anti squat and anti dive and make up your mind about what you want to run, looks like you have plenty of scope for
adjustment so I am sure you will be fine.

Parallel to each other is cool as long as they are the same length.
If for any reason you think the geometry is out just use rubber bushes in the upper links --- even hard rubber bushes will let you away with a lot.

i think about an inch or so because if i move the boxes down any more they wont be level with the bottom of the car.and i was thinking if i hit
something it could rip everything off lol. or should i just move them down to suit. and the link bars are about 700mm long as where ive put the boxes
was the best place to get a lot of weld on and keep the back end strong but i dont no if there going to be to long  .

The longer the better with trailing arms is the theory. As long as you have bump and rebound you should be fine with what you describe in my opinion.
Are you using a panhard rod with the de dion or another system?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
