Default suspension calculator?

does anyone know what happened to the racing aspirations suspension calculator? I've tried for 3 days now and it cannot find it. maybe someone knows of another one. I'm designing my a arms for my new tut tech rig and have been playing with different dimensions on that site and it was awesome, but now it's gone. Help! Thanks

That link works fine for me. The site has changed some but I go to it and scroll down half a page and there it is.

I would LOVE to find one that allowed you to put A-arms in the picture and work the caster too! Choose the angle you look at it.

Prolly do it in solidworks or one of those.

I think it loads the way whoever was on it last left it. So if someone took out the arms or whatever, thats how it loads to the next person that logs on.

Right below the arms you move around you will see a white link "box"

It does not change as you cycle the arm up or down but as you move the pivot points you will see this link change. (Watch the link in the white box change when you move one of the arrow points) If you find a setup you wish to remember instead of writing it down save that link and when you return to that link it will be just as you left it.
