start by reading up on linked suspension first. doesn't matter if it's for coils, coilovers, air shocks or 1/4 elliptics. the geometry theory is the same. get familiar with all the different link arrangements and what the pros and cons of each set up are. look at your own vehicle and see what kind of restrictions you have. eg. driveshaft, chassis width, cross members, fuel tanks, exhaust, etc... all of that affects what you can do. the 1/4 elliptic leaves plays a very small component in your build. it's just the spring. get a look at Shorty40's green buggy with rear 1/4 ellip suspension for some ideas.

got any sites or links to read up about suspension setups. i'm checking out coil conversions for a forty, so becoming knowledgable about geometries and goods and bads would be helpful... ta.
