Mark,

I am not sure what you mean. “Rocket man” titled his post 3 Link/4link, mentioned LD and DSE and had some questions about 3 link vs 4 link. He further mentions he was looking for technical information.

Message forums are a way for people to disseminate information. Rocket Man is looking to upgrade his suspension, mentioned two offerings and made an indirect request for tech on the respective systems.

We offer a 3 link for the vintage vehicles. I simply made him aware of that fact and offered to answer his questions. How is that a hijack?

It may have been more prudent if you sent me a private message or email, instead there is post in a public forum. You are essentially eliciting a response from us.

We are new here, but as you are well aware, we are not new to the aftermarket. I have lurked here for over a year and have never seen mention of our name, so we are unknown here. Much of our time has been spent on corner-carvers. We now are in a position to offer the Lateral-G community another rear suspension option. That is all. We hope that we will be able to provide the tech people seek and will continue to post as we see fit.

This is not a hijack, nor is it childish. A potential client could not get in contact with you, and requested information via an open forum. We offered to help.

Thanks...Mike

I too was a bit frustrated w/Lateral D. at first. I wanted my questions answered immediately and it wasn't happening. I am a very impulsive guy and having too wait for an answer to an email was discouraging. But, long story short, I have LD's 3-link kit for my 69 maro and the handywork on the pieces is just plain awesome. Mark and Matt have gained every bit of my confidence. Just excersize a little bit of patience and I gaurentee you will not be dissappointed.

Yes, without question. It may be a bit of a different approach than the pony car versions we have out currently due to the frame on the A-body cars (there's an "inconvenient" crossmember that would get in the way of a suitable length upper link, we could make the link teeny-weeny, like 10" long or so, but that is a serious compromise in the performance of the overall package that is unnacceptable as far as we are concerned: size matters here, sorry). We have several product development projects going on simultaneously, this setup has not yet been started, but will very soon after the current run of product details are settled. The concept, and suspension geometry calculations, etc, are already complete. A-body cars are just way too cool for us not to give them some of our lovin'.

Hey Mark, have you guys looked into removing said inconvenient crossmember and triangulating the new forward link crossmember for added rigidity? Just a thought I had back in my "dreamer" days.
