I designed and built my own IFS for the project. When you read about suspension geometry, they always talk about compromises. Well, this project is no different, but I am happy with the way it has turned out.

this is awesome, my dream is to fit a big block or some other goofy motor inside of a lawnmower and turn it into a really capable offroad atv

Nice work. Personally I would have got a junk sport qwad off market place a Honda or suzuki with brakes. I don't have the equipment to do it the way you did. But very nice results from your work!

Do you have a link to the shocks and spindles you used?

I dont have the links handy, but the shocks are banshee replacements from amazon. The spindles I purchased off ebay - 4 stud wheel hub front steering spindle brake caliper for go kart buggy ATV quad - item # 402926089757

@@tightwadproductions961 I'm trying to put IFS on a lawnmower like you did. Hopefully it turns out as good as yours.

Although I haven't used either yet, I'm happy with the initial quality of the shocks and spindles/hubs. Honestly, it would be significantly easier to buy a spindle and hub kit that also includes the A-arms. The arms werent terribly hard to make, but I spent hours trying to design the right geometry. I think the geometry turned out ok, but could be better.
