Roll-bind would be a big issue with this design. When the car rolls in a turn, one front eye goes up, the other down, trying to twist the axle housing. I really hate to say anything negative about someone's product that they have worked hard to produce. I nearly didn't post this but felt I had to put it out there.

David your totally correct, that is alot of the reason we took it out of my camaro. We knew it would have alot of roll bind and if your going to drive the car hard this is not the way to go. When i built the car I didnt have much money to throw at it and thats why we went with this rather than the four link. We were going to re work the two link to fix the binding issues because it actually worked fairly well until I pushed the car hard enough it unloaded the inside rear tire (wheel hop). But we decided to go with ridetechs 4 link and i have been super happy with how it has worked in my car. For normal street driving the two link works okay but has its limitations and binding issues when driven hard. Scott and i both try to point everyone towards ridetech when asked what rear suspension to use because we have been really happy with their components and they are super nice guys.

thanks,
