Im in the process of designing (2 years so far) a one seater car that uses a mono shock on the front end. The idea came to me from a RC car so im sure there's a real car out there somewhere that uses a mono shock up front. I'm having trouble figuring out how im going to incorporates the anti sway setup. Any ideas?

The Infiniti Pro Series, the support series for the IRL that is probably best known for Jason Priestley's near crippling accident, is switching from a mono-shock front suspension to a twin shock system for 2006. The IPS chassis are a spec Dallara used in the current F1 support series GP2 (previously Formula 3000, Formula Nissan, etc.).

I don't know much about the decisions but I am sure that there are various advantages and disadvantages to both shown purely by the fact that there are both systems in use although twin shock systems are by far more common. If you are looking for one "the best" system then you will probably never find a final answer.

Then there are systems with three front and two rear, two front and three rear, ...

 

ya the 3 shocks up front works great but is complicated to tune. the 3rd shock loads the tires more under braking getting more traction out of them but u have to be carful and not brake and turn at the same time, which u arent usualy supose to do anyways.
