Hello-

I _love_ the idea of double wishbone front suspension!

However, before you decide to take deposits or begin fabrication design, you may want to go to the bookstore and purchase some books on suspension design. There is a LOT of math involved in a good suspension design! Realizing that you need unequal length arms is simple compared to the complex geometry involved. There's no rush - spend a week or two reading little bits of the book at a time and understanding what's going on. Good technical books aren't easy to read quickly :-). Then, armed with the new knowledge, go back and attack your design problem. Determine if what you are picturing will give what you want or not.

Remember: if done properly (as the math will show), handling will be greatly increased. If done improperly, you'll end up worse than when you started.

Take care,
