Matt, I'd have to agree with Todd. I think the kits are priced similarily anyways just the DSE Q-link might be a bit more labour to install.

Only thing I'd add - and I'm not 100% positive on this - but I believe you can get better A/S numbers w the G link as opposed to the Q link if you plan on drag racing?

G-bar, G-link, Q-link... I got my keys mixed haha

Vegas - So if Im not going to be TOO ROUGH (no autocrossing, maybe once a year if that at the drag strip) but have around 550-600 rwhp, will the Prodigy Gbar (I guess more asking about the frame rails) hold up? Or would the DSE Qlink be the better option? I just felt the Qlink might be overkill/more than I need to pay for my project.

It should......:unibrow: If I had it to do over again, it would have a quadralink in a New York minute.

Ron, it seems the DSE equipped cars get out of the hole better. That's my opinion. That could be as simple as shocks.

I also installed the Alston G-Link and it came with 12-200 springs which set the car too high even on the lowest mount position. I simply purchased a pair of 8-200 springs from Speedway Motors and the shorter spring allows me the necessary adjustment to set the car where I want it to be.

Well I know the G-link and Q-link are similar, but I believe the Prodigy G-bar is about $200-300 cheaper. I will probably just stay screw it and go DSE... when you are spending that much, what is an extra couple hundred? :cheers:

Sounds like your intended usage is pretty much inline with mine. I went back and forth with this decision myself and I ended up going G-link. No seat time yet but for multi-purpose setup I think it will work out nicely and has a good bit of adjustability.

The QuadraLink is awesome piece and especially so if you plan any serious auto-X/road race outings. As stated, the labor to install could make it more expensive than the other options. That's another reason I decided against it.

I'd recommend giving Marcus at SC&C a call and discuss it with him. Very helpful in understanding the pros/cons of the popular choices, e.g. G-link, Air Bar/Prodigy Bar, torque arm, QuadraLink.

Take a look at the four bar setup from Art Morrison. Looks like less fab than the Quadralink but doesn't use the factory frame rails. I had a G-Bar in my Firebird and I'm definitely going to consider AME on my next F body.

How does it ride with the 10" springs?

The car is not operational yet so I cannot tell you how it rides. Just FYI, the Prodigy bar and the G-Link are the same thing and both are manufactured by Alliston's Chassisworks.

That's not correct. The G Bar was a joint venture between Air Ride and Chris Alston. Basically and air bar with varishocks. The prodigy bar is the same but with QA1 end links everywhere except the front spring pocket. The G Link is a fresh design from Chris Alston solely.
