Faroarm software

I am looking at purchasing a used faro arm from a company and I guess I will be reciving all thats needed to use the faro with exception to the software. I was wondering what ideas regarding software youy might have for my application. It seems that the faro software is alot more $$$ than I want to spend on this project. I will explain exactly what Im wanting to do below.

I am a performance motorcycle shop, we do motors and suspension. I have just purchased a suspension simulation software program that the manufacturers use to help design the suspension. Since we modify this stock suspension to perform in the racing world I wanted to use this software to help with ideas we have and have more to base them on than just guessing. But anyway to the point. What I need to do is be able to plot the mounting points on the suspension system (swingarm,linkage,shock mounts,ect) So that I can measure the distance from point to point on them and put this number into the program. For example I need the center-to-center measurment of the upper and lower shock mounts. I need the point-to-point length on the swingarm pivot points and so on. So I need to be able to get these points and then the distance from point-to-point on the ones I need.

What software do you thinkcan do just this, thats all I will ever use it for.
I am also looking for a low budget software as Im not sure if once I begin to use the program if it will do what all we are looking for.

I was also wondering if its possible to have a programmer just make a application to do what I need.

Thanks for any tips and help...
