1st Gen rear suspension question!

[Liquid Force NZ]

I would be interested in a 3 Link Rear, not concerned if I have to chop the car up-to fit, if you were to do this what is the likely hood of it coming to fruition and how far away?

cheers

Not one person has mentioned probably the most simple suspension piece out there used by every fourth/fifth gen camaro. A torque Arm...with the advance in rear end we now have the S60 rear end from strange with torque arm mounts already in place. Build the mount in the front that will swivel and leave the leaf springs in place. SIMPLE or am I wrong about this.

There is one going in my car as I speak. I will keep upi updated. Remember that cars are stupid. Your first gen dones not know the difference and wont mind a torque arm. Great anti squat.....very little fabrication. No choping up the back seat.

How is your Torque Arm coming? I have wanted to do this to my 69 as well. I started with the G-Bar set-up, but I want to remove the top arms and make a de-coupled TA along with a watts link.

i already did the DSE kit, and am very satisfied with the results... HOWEVER:

if i had to do it again, and a reasonably affordable kit was available that allowed me to run a 12 bolt rear end, i would GLADLY ditch the rear seats and hack up the floor for the performance improvements.
i think a no-compromise, all out performance setup would be a nice addition to the available aftermarket out there today.
