What shocks and springs are on it now? Sounds like you have to take the bird cages off and get some clamp on trailing arm mounts in order to run a 3 link. A Shaw car has the eliminator mounted on the bird cage behind the LR because when the bird cage indexes foreward it pushes up on the eliminator giving it more traction. As far as I can see anyway. I run a Pierce so I'm no expert on that set up. Sounds like you have to move the LR eliminator in front of the axle to make room for the behind the rear panhard bar set up. I don't see where running LR behind on a clamped car would benefit anyway. I have seen RR behind on that set up. Dig around on the internet for photos or ask around for people that are running your type of set up so you can look at it and see exactly what you need to do.

who's rules??best bet which i'm sure will be legal is both springs on top the axle with screwjacks. 225 or 200 on lr with 200 or 175 on rr.shocks use a 94 on rr 96-3 lr for normal tracks and slick change to a 93-5 rr and 98-2 lr.if track is rough 94 on both.with a coilover on lr behind there isnt no room for the panhard unless you run it to the right side downhill which i havent seen before on dirt cars(asphalt practice).clamp on brackets spring cups and screwjacks for adjustment.jet makes a nice bracket with the cup on thetop for 75 each real simple to use.the key is coil springs have to be vertical
