Chassisworks g-Bar and g-Link Misinformation
 
There is a significant amount of misinformation in the forums regarding the Chassisworks g-Bar and g-Link rear suspension system for '67-69 Camaro. To clear up the confusion we have prepared a detailed response, which can be downloaded to read in its entirety.

Failure of the upper-control-arm frame rail attachment...
This image shows a torn passenger-side frame rail, with the tear extending from a sleeve that was welded in by the installer. This failure is a result of an improperly installed frame bracket. Additional detail regarding this particular installation is given in our g-Bar Misinformation document.

The car does not sit as low as I would like…
Another comment commonly made is that the g-Bar and g-Link systems do not sit low enough. This is simply a limitation of the factory body sheet metal to suspension clearance. Our g-Bar and g-Links systems were designed to not involve cutting the floor to further lower the car. However, we do now have a few new products available that allow the suspension to be lowered beyond the original travel range. We also have a new rear frame product in the works that will allow the car to sit considerably lower. It will debut at SEMA 2012, no additional info will be available before then.

If you have any additional questions please contact me.

How about you offer (at no charge to current customers) another shock cross bar that won't hit the Fab 9 filler neck when the car is lowered?

X5. If this were to materialize then add me to the list too.

OK Guys Im in talks with Chassisworks about the crossmember. I am going to set my pinion angle then take a bunch of pics for them.

Hopefully they will replace/fix it if it still hits after setting the pinion angle.

For the install experts
 
Would the additional 1 1/4 cause my car to bottom out? It doesnt look like it to me. I would love to keep my investment in the G-Link but I do want the additional stance fix.
