Re: baby atlas... cosworth power
How much power are you going to be running? 200/240bhp single leafs and tramp bars will be ok but not ideal when going towards the 250bhp mark. any higher i would be tempted with a 5/6 link then.

Re: baby atlas... cosworth power
Going to be running around 300-320bhp in mine. I have a full width Atlas, 225 section tyres on 8x15 rims, decambered springs, poly bushes, anti-tramp bars and panhard rod (3 linked?) - I purposely didn't want a 4/5/6 link setup as I wanted to retain an element of practicality with the interior.
We shall see how it goes - it is road use only though....
With the amount of power I wouldn't want to use lowering blocks - so if you do nothing else, get the springs decambered.

I was hopeing to run about 350ish bhp, but I also wanted to keep the rear seats ect but if needs are a must then I will 5 link it

Re: baby atlas... cosworth power
you dont "need" to 5 link it at all, a lot will depend on how and where you drive it, and whether you find yourself suffering from excessive axle tramp
