Default Long shot....real long shot. But anyone have any blueprints?

I am a capable welder, and trust myself to weld any material I need now-a-days. I have been weighing out the pros' and cons' of buying/building/running at all, a nice rear suspension setup. There are some nice options out there................... for $1600! Now that is including a staging brake, rotors, and calipers, ect., but damn! So, Honda-Tech; being the "do-it-ourselfers" that we are, ANYONE HAVE SOME PLANS? Strange sells them, and Mark Williams will as well, but he would need a car to take measurements from, and I am in Idaho. Not happening. Yes I could do it ALL by myself, but plans make things easy, and remove some of the "first time" errors. Any help/direction would be sweet! Thanks!

I might sound like a dick when I say this, but instead of asking for blueprints, why dont you buy the items below and make your own. Those who want money for their products are charging since they already took the time out to do the dirty work and testing, so if your wanting to save money, do the dirty work yourself. Google how to measure centerlines and angles and get to work.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This how I would do my own also, get your self a nice angle gauge and go look on youtube at some of the rear wheel drive guys doing backhalfs and front suspension upgrades, they will show you a lot and the better vids explain what they are doing and why.

I just noticed that there were some chassis guys selling blueprints. I was wondering if there were any guys out there doing the same for our cars. That's why the title says "long shot". But after a little pricing, the material cost is a lot of the $1600. I will end up buying one over the winter. Thanks anyway.

if its a custom rear end suspension setup, buy a set of universal coilovers with dampening, rebound, and variable spring rates. then find a place to put them, and work from there. then when everything is all together, let the tuning begin. you can easily go to any drag strip and look at a racecar there and see the geometry needed to build a legit rear end
