Firstly, I have looked thru the past god-knows what number of pages and searched for this topic, but the requirements I've got differ to those people who just want to bolt on a rear end.
I want a rear-disc conversion, and I also want a LSD that is permissble to run in the SARC as a production car...from what I see so far the rt141 rear disc and a plain old sprinter LSD would be the way to go. However, in case someone has a better idea, or if there are problems with this conversion -> the rules relating to suspension/brakes are as follows.
straight from the CAMS Manual of Motor Sport - Road Events - Rally Cars - Group 3C
(note that free means that anything basically goes, so you can replace a "free" component with a rubber duckie if you want to)
Article 3.5
i) The position of the rotational axis of the mounting points of the suspension to the wheel uprights, and to the shell or chassis, must remain unchanged.
ii) (not really relevant -> reinforcement bar related)
iii) Suspension components and axles are free provided they are entirely interchangeable with the original units. For vehicles with a live rear axle, the entire rear axle tube and differential housing assembly is considered to be suspension and is therefore free. The suspension mounting points on the body/chassis must be retained and used exclusively and unmodified and to the exclusion of all others, save that strengthening is permitted in accordance with Article 3.9(i) (don't worry about that)
iv) Anti sway bars are free as are their anchorage points. The points may be used for the mounting of reinforcement bars.
v) The top shock absorber mounting plates of MacPherson struts are free save that the mounting points on the actual bodywork must remain unchanged.
vi) Not really relevant, just says you can fiddle with springs a bit.
vii) Not really relevant, basically you can interchange shock absorbers.
viii) not relevant.
Article 3.7
The complete braking system is free, subject to any replacement components complying with the relevant registration requirements and any modifications to bodywork being restricted to the drilling of holes for the fitting and/or operation of any components. blah blah blah.
