Your partially right about the suspension. It depends on the tongue weight of the trailer. A dual-axle trailer would leviate alot of the weight, especially if it's balanced and you put on sway bars to distribute the weight.
For braking, it's typical for trailers carrying that kind of weight, to have brakes. Actually they're usually mandatory, but depends on where you live, the laws, and even what you're towing it with. You can either have the standard electric brakes, which require a controller in the vehicle and a 7+wire harness, or you can get them with hydraulic surges brakes, that use a special tongue that compresses from the trailer weight against the vehicle braking, and that hydraulic force is transfered to the braking system...so the harder you brake, the harder it brakes, and it's totally self-contained within the trailer.

I'd love to have a tow dolly. I borrowed my buddies and brought an MX3 back from Pickering (bout 2hr drive). So anyway thanks for Jacking my Post I found the O2 sensors no good. One was broken right off hense failled Etest. Rockauto to the rescue. $41 bucks each. I installed Goodyear triple treads, man they make good traction in slush and ice.
On a more popular note I went out and did an oil change on the ZE MX3. Just wanted it to know I still cared. lol Now it's stored for the winter.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
Lol, maybe for a bike rack, but even then, you'd be best off with a frame-mounted receiver. I think my buddy's 02 Cavalier is actually rated for 1000/1500lbs, cause he was looking at a hard-top trailer last year.
