I have not installed one of the Art morrison rear kits yet but am looking forward to finding the right project to use it. Personally, I think it is most likely a excellent no compromise system for someone wanting to push their car to the limit. Weather most of use will use our cars at that limit.......... but I am sure it is killer as is everything Art designs.

I think it is perfectly suited if the rear rails and trunk need to be replaced for rust or damage anyway. Then it is almost a no brainer. If your in there anyway, why not install these new rails?

If everything is tight in the rear structure wise, I do not know if it is worth all the additional fabrication. I do not know if most will ever push their car hard enough to Experience any performance advantage over a Prodigy Bar or Quadralink.

In the end, it doesn't matter to me. All three are great systems and I can sell you any of the 3 systems you want. So no financially bias opinions here!

Frank,
You feel that your Prodigy bar is on par with the DSE Quadralink? I thought that the Quadralink was on another level. I assumed Quadralink was equal to the Morrison stuff...

I have the Morrison 4 link on my project. Big and beefy, and the stainless poly ends will help keep the ride pleasant. Also had them make me one of their max-G frames. But I bought the frame with no rear suspension installed, and the 4 link setup as parts. My project required the rear frame rails be 34" outside to outside. The max-G is only available in a 40" width. So we made the frame change on our end, and then installed the 4 link, with a custom fabbed watts link.

Hard to go wrong with Morrisons stuff. Everything Ive seen is very high quality.

I do not think there is a distinct performance advantage between them. Look at the air Ride cars and DSE cars. They are with in 100ths of seconds of one another.

One advantage to building a lot of cars is being able to touch and feel different products. We install and sell the Quadralinks also. It is a matter of personal preference. We have 2 Quadralink and 4 Prodigy Bar projects in the shop today. Quadralink is good stuff also.

Better?

A lot more installation and total installed cost? Oh yes

Not necessarily true. On the First Gen Camaro we are doing a replacement rear sub that you can do either a tri 4-bar or a 3-link. The tri 4-bar stays completely under the stock sheetmetal and the three link comes through. Both can still keep the stock seat in the back. It all depends on how low you want the car to be. Super slammed, then yes you probably will have to get rid of the back seat.

If you are doing a true 4-link (pro street style and not a 4-bar or tri 4-bar) yes, you definitely have to eliminate the rear seat due to framerail and suspension design.

Hey Craig-

When I first started looking at your Tri 4-bar, I was quoted an outside framerail measurement of 40". That would be a bit narrower than the stock rails and would require another fuel tank (if I remember correctly).

Have you designed a clip specifically for the Camaro since then, with different specs?

If these are two different set-ups (maybe Camaro vs. Universal), and I want the narrower one, will I lose the backseat? How much narrower can the Camaro clip be ordered while still retaining the back seat?

In short- I want a Tri 4-bar clip for a '68 Camaro, retaining the back seat, yet narrower than stock for more tire. I don't mind cutting into the trunk or floor as needed but still want the seat. Possible?
