Default Whose Running Chassisworks

So after searching high and low I can't really find many people running the Chassisworks G-link rear suspension

If your out there throw a shout out and tell us your experience pros, cons, and what you would've done differently and what you loved.

I looked a lot as well. I have been to their showroom and its nice stuff. Their GenI Camaro setup seems to be a pretty popular setup. I have yet to see a Gen II Camaro running their setup. They make high quality products. None of the setups on the market are really bad IMO. I always like to call the manufacturer to see what kind of support they are willing to give. That usually makes the choice for me (once you narrow down the top selections of course).

Rybar on your site it says your running leaf springs. Did you swap to G-link after?

Its proven, haven't seen AutoX results without a GenII DSE equipped car on or near the top of the list.

Yes I did, here is the update thread. It's a little older, so it gives some insight on why I chose and if I were to do it over. Also, DO NOT Buy from Frank at Prodigy customs. After this he scammed alot of people so I would buy through a reputable dealer.

I'm happy with my system, nice ride, hooks up well accelerating. We have full tail pipes routed with a stock width tank. My only pet peeve was that the car sat too high with the standard springs it came with so we swapped in shorter springs to get the stance correct.

Have been running their G Link air spring setup going on 2 years and really like it. It was a fairly straight forward install, the performance for my tastes has been great.

Quality of product is top notch, some of the best instructions I have seen to date for the install and customer service is top notch.

DirtShark! I've researched your set up before, I think they have it as a demo car in Chassisworks website. Have you done any auto x with the car and what exactly is your taste.

Ad, yes the car is on Chassisworks site and is CW front and rear. I have not done any auto x with the car but that was not my intentions. I was looking for a very "Spirited" driving street car, and that is exactly what I got. Handles very well, hooks up great, no complaints. I am sure I do not even come close to its potential.

Ease of installation was a consideration as well as there was no cutting involved, just welding of the brackets (I have the weld on version) done in my garage. Lastly CW is local to me and it is nice to be able to put a face with the people you are buying from, Carl has been great, and very helpful with my build. Hopefully this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
