Ridetech vs TCI
 
I want to build my 67' camaro similar to the 48 hour camaro with a few changes. How do you feel about the Airbar (link) rear suspension compares with TCI's torque arm. I would use Ridetech coilovers no matter what. Will need new 9" or 12 bolt as the stock 10 bolt is not going to hold up.
Lets here your opinions!

What are the goals of the car?

Bryce,
I'm wanting a hard core street car that I hope to autoX if I ever get a chance.

I think the g-bar is a good way to go, and is actually what we are running on the Nova we're building. It is proven setup.

We sell the G-bar and can also get the rear-end also for you. This way you know everything will work together in one shot. Whether you go the 9" or the 10-bolt.

Check out the SpeedTech Toque Arm. They offer it will the Ride Tech coilovers and the install is pretty easy if you get their 9" housing with the brackets all ready welded in place. If it were my coin, that is what I would run and plan to run here in the near future.

I did think of SpeedTech's Torque Arm, its a great piece and is close to TCI's pricing. I do like that its welded vs.bolted.

Thanks

Torque arms good for street and autocrosses, they just dont have the adjustablilty to be a great drag race suspension. If you can packaging them correctly and can get as close to 100% antisquat then you will be pretty happy with your launches at autocross events. An adjustable 4-link is a little easier to package and can go from 50% to 150% A/S.

They both will handle about the same, a tri-4link will usually have a higher roll center than a T/A with a watts or panhard. A higher roll center means you will have more roll stiffness and less adjustablity.

Either suspension will need to be balanced with the front setup.

Speed tech proves how well their torque arm works with their killer Nova. Ridetech suspension is proven as well .. Both great companies with excellent customer service.
