Lateral Dynamics 3-Link - No question.

Hadn't seen that one, thanks!! Looks killer on their website.... Anyone else?

With that much power.... you'll be hard pressed to find anything better.

Might I also suggest wider tires up front? You're going to want all the tire up front you can for braking that thing... 275's will fit on the front of an A-body without issue.

I would normally say this is a no brainer, but I don't know if it can handle that kind of power all the time. Not sure it's been tested as far as that kind of power.

Don't worry, it'll never hook anyways with a 19" street tire,

Well... he could use a floater axle. That should take care of any remaining power handling issues

From their website the Lateral Dynamics 3-link is not available for the A-body. Have a call in to them to see about custom apps but haven't heard back yet. Please explain floater axle...not familiar with this term....??? I also plan to have a set of 15x10 rears for screwing around at the strip with drag slicks....engine will be capable of 1800hp on race gas and of course I'll have to try this out even though the car will be used 99% street.
