Rear suspension explanation needed

I'll be honest, I haven't been researching as much as I want to but I need someone to clear this up for me. I need a clear explanation please. Seriously, talk to me like I'm ten years old and explain the differences, benefits, disadvantages, cost, etc for the different types of upgraded rear suspension; ie uniball, Porsche bits etc.

I have limited internet access here in Germany, and I can't read german so the sources here are almost useless. I would greatly appreciate it.

The info you are asking for would take pages to answer the way you would like it explained to you. Can you narrow it down to the type of suspension style your most interested in.

Some of the Porsche conversion info was covered on the main page under tech. I would start there since it is more popular.

See, that's the thing. I don't know what would be ideal per application. That is why I generalized.

The suspension tech article on the front page was useful if I were looking to keep the torision rear end, but I'm looking for information on upgrading to a coil spring rear end.
