I am definitely hoping to get long life from this vehicle and that's an excellent point about custom fabed parts versus existing components. I am almost certain that the finished weight of the vehicle will come up 750 pounds and additionally I hope that 75% of the braking will come from the regenerative forces which should further help maintain the lift of the front brakes.
I will look into those two suspensions and see what sort of adjustability they have and how much they weigh. If it seems like a viable solution I will have to get more specific measurements on them and decide whether I should modify the chassis slightly or modify the suspension so it fits. All depends on what is more feasible of course.
Thanks for the help!
