Anyone complete a 3-link and wouldn't mind sharing pics. I realize there are many amazing suspension setups out ther, but for some of use $4500-$7000 is a little hard to swallow. This does not have to include billet, powder coating, or supper trick metel work.

Of all the garage built cars completed and many in the building stage, there's knowone that has built their own?

Mine is a 4 link. It is a knock off of the "MULES" set up. There is almost as much geometry is the rear suspension as the front. The two systems also work together.

I originally installed a 4 link. Between my goofy tape measure and ride height change, I am starting from scratch. I am not ruling out a 4 link. Where I stand right now I have many options. Thanks for posting. Anyone else

Well, I'm working on a 3 link for my 67 Firebird. I just wanted to build my own besides I have more time than money. I am still in the design / layout stage. I don't really know what I am doing LOL! I have a few books and I think I understand the basics but it seems too simple, I feel I must be missing something since they cost so much to purchase one. I don't have any pics since it doesn't exist yet but If I could I'd post a DXF or something of the design out of TurboCad. BTW I am planning on using Ballistic Joints from ballisticfabrication.com.
