Travis, the decision between the Lateral Dyanmics 3-Link and the Quadra-Link is an easy one.

I REALLY wish AME would make their MaxG with the ability to mount the transaxle to the rear!

I am basically going to make my decision based on the price I find a complete C6Z06 drivetrain for. If I can find it at or near the price I am willing to pay I will be trying that suspension, if not I won't feel bad going with the Torque Arm 3-link Watts setup.

It's on the drawing board, but it's on a pretty long time-line.

OR just call Ironworks for some super fabulous tube chassis deluxe. Or have you seen what they have been doing with Rectangular tubing? It is out of this world.......

If you can find what you're looking for in the price range of the C6Z06 drivetrain, that would be cool. If not, have you seen DSE's set-up or Speed-tech's. Both look very good and are raved about.
GOOD LUCK!!!
