I had the same questions with my car and spent hours looking at different suspension set ups, wheels, fitment, speaking with experts and owners.

I even posted a similar thread on here about it.

The end result is seen below on my 68 Camaro - (please excuse the crappy cell phone pic)

Mini tub with the DSE Quadralink. Based upon the available information, the user reviews, and the position in my build(fully blasted and ready for metal work) it made sense.

If you have the finances, aren't destroying pristine paint and feel that it serves a purpose or need (which I think it does or you wouldn't even be considering it) then do it.

That reminds me I need to update my build thread lol

This.

If you want to do it, get it over with now. :D

Funny I have the same answer!

Vince, Can you tell me what wheels are on the white Camaro. Perhaps a close up view of the wheels too ? Car looks fantastic ! All three cars look really sharp actually but that white one looks mean.

If you mini you need to narrow rear end. Need to get wheels and tires to go with the look.

$300 mini tubs can easily be $10k when you're all in.

Mine is tubbed.

Don't necessarily *need* all the rest right away as it's all hidden and no one will be able to tell that it's done.. but mini-tubbing now, if your project is in a state where it's easier/easiest to mini-tub now, is perfect for later on down the road when you decide that you do want wider tires like everyone else...

Not sure, I pulled it off the web. Looks like Budnik M5's to me.

I think the mini-tub is a great step as long as you aren't cutting up a pristine car. The 4-link is pretty expensive around 2K which is a lot of money for most of us. I found narrowing the rearend to be pretty reasonable.

The hardest pill to swallow is 12 inch wheels and big brakes. You can shop around and find good deals, but new those are very expensive and the wide tires are really a big hit as well. If you plan to get those down the road, the mini-tub really opens up lots of possibilities. The tubs can always go into a painted car later, but you have to be more careful. Most people can do tubs themselves with patience and a pretty simple welder.

Don't be like me where you're already painted and bought wheels and then you want to do it.........after joining this site!

....... always the old project scope creep.... it happens to EVERYONE. It starts with the "well, while I'm here I might as well do "X"

It explains why there's people on here that haven't driven their car in YEARS... LOL
