What setup is shown in the pictures if it's not for a Camaro?

That is a Mustang set up. The way the Camaro link attachments will look much different.

We are accepting Pre Orders now at the orginal price. Alston has promised a price increase once units start shipping late November

I wonder how good Lateral Dynamics is. What have they built?
It works, err, "good." The system is highly tunable, and has shown its capability against the competition, without fear.

The real question comes down to cutting the car, or not. If a customer is planning on mini-tubbing the car, etc, not wishing to keep the floorpans original, then there should be no hesitation in considering the Lateral Dynamics 3-Link. If cutting the car is not in the build plan, there are several options out there as the guys have shown. We will also have an option that won't require cutting as the 3-Link does, and it will also put performance as a primary design consideration, but we won't release until the design has been proven.

Cheers,
Mark

Do these kits bolt to the rear end housing using the leaf spring mounts or is there separate bracketry that welds to the housing to mount the lower arms?

ProdigyCustoms 11-11-2008 09:13 PM

They will se the leaf pads and you will weld the upper link mounts. Unless you choose a bolt in rear housing or rear. then they will have a lower link mount, no adapter, and will also have jig welded upper link tabs

Frank`s right, those are pics of the Stang G-Link. I have prototype pics of the real Camaro one but if I showed them to you I`d have to kill you. :P Chris and the crew at Alston really went above and beyond on this one and have put a huge amount of R&D,street and track (both road course and drag strip) testing time into it. The old G Bar for the Stang and Camaro were darn near identical but the Camaro G-Link is a whole different animal. The lower arms and link mounts are right as is the coil over crossmember but the UCA locations and upper cradle are much different. The new format offers even better geometry and a LOT more tail pipe room according to Alston. That`s good news all around. The one in the pic has the bolt on lower arm mounts. Weld on mounts are a $50 option and are the same ones they use on the application built FAB9 rears. There`s also two optional swaybars, one the axle mounted one shown and the other a frame mounted 3 way adjustable bar! If you`re not sure you want to run a bar right away you can get the brackets welded in the G-Link for $50 and get the bar later on. Fixtures are available for 10 bolt, 12 bolt and 9" rears to make the weld on axle mounts a no brainer and they`ll refund $30 of the fixtures cost when you return it (so you`re basically just renting it). The G-Link is a very trick setup! The preorder price only lasts until the first units ship though then they`re going up $200-$400 according to Chris so if you`re interested now`s the time to get your foot in the proverbial door. :yes: Mark SC&C

I'm looking at the G-bar setup for my 69 camaro and would like to know if it will work with my mini tub setup?

ProdigyCustoms 11-13-2008 08:36 PM

Oh yeah, that is the advantage of buildiong a lot of cars. We have them in a bunch of cars we have done in the shop and more in customers that bought the set ups from us. We have cars running 335 / 30 / 18s and monster 345 / 30 / 19s. We have all the measurements for rear / backspace / wheels size / tire size down.

345 / 30 / 19s on this car with A Prodigy Bar with Shockwaves and DSE mini tubs
