1st Gen rear suspension question!

[FreddieCougar]

We are working on a 95% bolt-in rear canted 4-bar for the 1st gen Camaros as well. We have finished the Mustang/Cougar application, and the Camaro is next. This is the Ford Piece, the Gm will be very similar.

Chris says March-ish.....
Adjustable ride height, shock angle, 3 kinds of arms, 2 kinds of sway bars, etc. very cool stuff!

We put a Morrison triangulater 4 link in the black Camaro with minor cutting to mount the upper bars and some minor reworking of the seat back frame. there is alot of room behind the rear seat to cut away for a 3 link but it would be some major cutting.
i don't think there is any way to put a propper geometry 4 link in there without cutting.
in my opinion the tri 4 link is the best to work with as far a exhaust routing having the panhard or watts link makes for very little room to run stuff, alltho we just put 3" stainless pipes on Surreyboys camaro with the DSE quadra link.

I think many guys don't want to do major fabrication. I think the more instruction you can provide the better. It is the fear of the unknown, cutting into these classics, is an undesirable. I think it just depends on how well the project is engineered and how well you can document it will determine its success. Good luck.

Craig I'm a big fan of retaining the back seat...it can be modded, but I like to have it.

I actually have a 4-bar and used parts from AME to build it, it took a lot of fab time...a kit would have been nice a few year ago!

If you can figure out how to package a 3-link and feel good about the geometry improvements (it should out-perform the 4-bar) I say build it! As you know every car/suspension has compromise...with the LD 3-Link it's back seat fitment. And install instructions and templates are VERY important as many customers are only hobbiests, not that we cant do the work...but a little help goes a long ways!

Good luck with this, very exciting stuff!!
