Here is a very interesting article on how drag suspensions work for the engineering minded. Very educational.

a good read. Might have to post that over at zcar.com. They wouldn't believe me when I told them that anti-squat is a good thing.

 

They were of the opinion that the more the car squats, the better the weight transfer and the better the hookup. I suppose it is true to some extent... but the best case scenario is to get good anti-squat and good weight transfer... possibly resulting in an impressive wheel stand (also not the best scenario, but it will wow your friends). ; )
