What cars have good uprights/spindles?
Ok im makin a double a-arm suspension and since I can use any upright almost I want to get a quality one. Im not sure on all the qualitys in a good
upright, but here are a few.
1. Lots of Wheel choies
2. Good breaks stock or lots of aftermarket.
3. Rear steer (im using rear steer in my setup) rear steer as in relation to the spindle (the arm is facing the back of the car)
4. Double A-arm friendly pickup points.
So any upright suggestions from cars. I was thinkin fiero or rx7. Oh I live in the states so take that into consideration. Thanks alot.

I believe the Fiero is the same as the Chevette (US)...also S10 are popular.

Umm, sorry, but I have to ask why you want to use rear wheel steering. Kind of concerns me and all. Are you going for a passive or an active system?
The reason I'm asking is that many manufacturers and racing teams alike have tried it in the past with mixed, but mostly bad, results.
Technically it should be a good thing, but every report I've read, (and I have driven a small formula with 4 wheel steer) it is quite
disconcerting at higher speeds and on the limits. Lets face it, most everyone drives on the limit with a confidence in what the rear will do (stick
hopefully, or merrily power oversteer when needed). But, best of luck to you whichever way you go. Cheers!

Im not talking about the rear wheels steering. Im talking about the steering arm being on the backside of the spindle facing the rear of the car as
opposed to the steering arm being in front of the spindle.

Trumph GT6 steering arms can be fitted to suit the rack fitted in front or behind the front axle cl.
