Making my own would be a *lot* more expensive. I want to spend less and I want to get to a point when I can can actually drive it, and test it. Compact double 'A' arms may need some mods, but still would be a lot easier that fully custom suspension.

I drove some early Saab 900's and they had a lot of torque steer; especially the turbos... I can deal with it, but I know that some front wheel drive setups are quite neutral.

The rear suspension, though will likely have to be custom. Though I should look at the Honda Prelude with the active rear "steering" as that would have less turning scrub, I think?
