An automotive racing vehicle suspension system coupled between a vehicle body and a rotatable wheel, the suspension system comprising: an upper wheel assembly control arm coupled at a proximal end to the vehicle body; a lower A-frame portion rigidly suspended at a proximal end below the upper wheel assembly control arm; a vertical link coupled between a distal end of the upper wheel assembly control arm and a distal end of the lower A-frame portion, the vertical link rotatably coupled to a hub assembly; a leaf spring attached to the upper wheel assembly control arm for providing resilient resistance to vertical motion above or below the upper wheel assembly control arm; at least one shock absorber coupled between the chassis and the lower A-frame portion for providing resilient resistance to motion between the upper wheel assembly control arm and the lower A-frame portion which causes a compressive force in the at least one shock absorber; and at least one pull-spring coupled between the upper wheel assembly control arm and the lower A-frame portion for providing resilient resistance to motion between the upper wheel assembly control arm and the lower A-frame portion which causes a tensile force in the at least one pull-spring.
