Susprog3d??? Have used this amny a time, very time consuming with the inouting all the data it needs but well worth it. Search on the net & if you can't find the site get in touch with Bevan Young(Bookshop) in Australia as he stocks it.

Else whats wrongs with good ol cardboard scale models to work stuff out from & a calculator, you young fella want everything to be easy don't ya.

Suspension Analyser Pro... but I think that's 5 link and A arm only.
Atmosports is right though, cardboard. Competition car suspension by Allan Staniforth details it well. Engineer to win would be a fantastic addition to anyone with aspriations of racing's bookshelf.
