except its missing a shackle or slider at the forward torque arm mount, the only thing keeping it from progressive binding and loading under travel is bushing flex... the torque arm and rear controllarms are different length, wich means they will have different horizontal movement when the rear travels up and down....

propably works with the large bushings tho... just dont try solid bushings

(im not knocking it, havent tried it, just posting an observation on the engineering of ot)

Heidts
 

I would seriously look at Heidts. The quality is top notch & works extremely well.

the 2nd one i like is http://www.maxgsystems.com/presenter...aspx?Id=104637 just the rear the front i don't like.Heidts is the last one i would ever use after the problems out of there mustang 4 link and the 2nd gen one is not a triangulated 4 link.

take a look a the martz chassis 4 link. good one.

Rick, did you miss the picture of it I posted on my car? ;)

I want something that i can bolt in and not any anything that is a parallel 4 bar/link or with a panhard bar.I know I'm asking for a lot but i want it to handle great.

Whats wrong with our Mustang 4-link?

PM me where you are located please.

No binding there. The front torque arm mount has a steel slider that goes in a greased, fluted delrin bushing. It allows forward movement and rotational movement (during body roll). The delrin bushing has spiral flutes machined into it to hold the grease. Of course, the front torque arm mount also pivots.

BMR is the leading suspension manufacturer for 3rd and 4th gen F-Bodies, so we have manufactured tons of torque arm suspensions. This torque arm suspension for the 1st and 2nd gen is the most advanced suspension that we make. The Pro Touring market demands the best, so we incorporated lots of features and benefits into the design.

Check out the May issue of Chevy High Performance (pp 64-65) for a nice image and more detailed description of this product.

The Heidts mustang 4 link had some really soft coil overs and it wasn't a straight bolt on in a 66 mustang my friend has.

BMR adjustability questions
 

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...f69/TAC001.jpg

I have a question about the adjustability of the front torque arm mount. It's hard to tell in the picture, but I presume that the front mount, per the above quote, slides in and out of the actual torque arm. The question is, how much leeway do you have on where you mount the crossmember? Different cars will use different transmissions, and depending on how you mount the engine, the transmission may also be mounted differently. I wouldn't expect that you could have a huge amount of variance on that front mount point?

Also, several of the aftermarket front subframes provide their own types of transmission crossmember mounts that likely wouldn't allow the BMR crossmember to just bolt right in. Has anyone that's used one of these (on any car) dealt with this, or could BMR comment on how they suggest to handle this?

From the pictures I've seen of this unit, I can't really tell exactly how it attaches to the rear end housing? The above picture almost appears to have tabs that are mounted on the housing. Given that it's a 9" housing, perhaps it's different that the ones used in the F-bodies?

And, for the 1st / 2nd gen kits, I saw a reference to a 12-bolt housing. Will this kit work with both 10 and 12-bolt rear ends?

Final question for now... How in the world does one run an exhaust over and around that setup? It looks like it would be tough to go over the axle, but maybe it's not as bad as it looks?

Ok, that's enough. :)
