Hey guys. I'm trying to make models of various suspension design in order to see and understand how they work. Do you know of any companies that sell LEGOS or something similar that allow you to build fully realistic models of car suspensions? Thanks

Strips of cardboard for the arms and drawing pins for the pivot points is quite a good method of simulating suspension linkages and is essentially very cheap or free to do.

That's how I once sorted the bump-steer on a clubman's car.

I second Technic, I've done a double A arm FWD corner in Technic.
