Unlike the Quadralink which gives you no adjustability or tuning options whatsoever (it`s preadjusted to do everything...heh) the G-Link is completely adjustable. It can be easily set for optimum auto cross or road course performance then in a few minutes dialed in to hook like a dedicated drag car. It also lets you minimize roll steer and optimize the geometry at many different ride heights, not just one. There are several different arm choices including both steel and billet aluminum arms with CNC machined delrin race greasable spherical pivot joints. There are two optional swaybars including a frame mounted (for less unsprung weight) adj. rate bar which gives you even more tuning options to get the car dialed in perfectly or a fixed rate bar (shown). It should be available in a month or so. The more preorders (no $ up front) we submit the sooner they`ll be available. This is still a no cut, bolt in package. FAB9 9" rears with G-Link brackets are also available as part of the package (shown). Mark SC&C
Mark, I sent you a PM about this.

Default Brett's input

I put a G-bar in my 1973 Camaro and am very happy with it. It offers: easy install, a bunch of ride height adjustment, and about 1" of extra tire clearance. I have been autocrossing the car and drive it on the street a bunch and am happy with it. I also know that DSE builds nice stuff too. I wonder how good Lateral Dynamics is. What have they built? I see the DSE and Alston stuff under several high performing cars.

We are real excited about the new G link. The one in the pictures IS NOT the Camaro set up. I cannot post pics yet, but soon as they come out were installing one in one of our own cars.

What setup is shown in the pictures if it's not for a Camaro?

That is a Mustang set up. The way the Camaro link attachments will look much different.

We are accepting Pre Orders now at the orginal price. Alston has promised a price increase once units start shipping late November

More information here

Do these kits bolt to the rear end housing using the leaf spring mounts or is there separate bracketry that welds to the housing to mount the lower arms?

They will se the leaf pads and you will weld the upper link mounts. Unless you choose a bolt in rear housing or rear. then they will have a lower link mount, no adapter, and will also have jig welded upper link tabs

Oh yeah, that is the advantage of buildiong a lot of cars. We have them in a bunch of cars we have done in the shop and more in customers that bought the set ups from us. We have cars running 335 / 30 / 18s and monster 345 / 30 / 19s. We have all the measurements for rear / backspace / wheels size / tire size down.

345 / 30 / 19s on this car with A Prodigy Bar with Shockwaves and DSE mini tubs
