Thanks Tim, straight from the horses mouth. Poor wording on my part, I meant to say that the welding and surface finishes of the install (including the car ie. rusty parts) weren`t done yet.

The weld on brackets are a great option for a cleaner look. They`re almost elegant.
You can also get the swaybar mounts (either style) for $50 without the bar if you want to leave your options open but don`t want to cough up the extra for the whole bar now. Personally I love that adj. rate bar! The axle mounted bar with its billet arms is really pretty and functional too but tuning options make me all warm and fuzzy.

Maybe Tim can give some more info on other applications but last I talked to Chris there are plans to do a G-Link for all of the G-Bar applications so E-Body should be coming. Knowing how long this stuff takes to do right I suspect it may be a while though. In the mean time the existing G-Bar for those cars is a darn good system in it`s own right and we`ll be offering billet/greasable pivot ball double adj. arms for them like those on the G-Link. We have a Hellwig adj. rate rear swaybar for them as well. That gets you pretty close to a G-Link. Mark SC&C

Just a quick update on the G-Link. They`re shipping which is very cool! We also just became aware of a clearance issue when using the bolt on G-Link LCA brackets in mini tubbed applications. Some big mini tubb only wheel dia. and backspace combinations may not clear the lower coil over mounting bracket. The arms and brackets are much more beefy and they added additional adjustment holes so the brackets are a bit larger than the original G-Bar. If you want to run minitubbs just select the weld on lower arm mounts. They can be installed further inboard for clearance and Chassisworks is already working on instructions and an offset bushing kit for the front of the lower arms to preserve the correct geometry. The upper coilover mounts have plenty of holes for adjustment so no changes will be required there at all. CW will be doing at least one narrowed rear swaybar for minitubb applications and the adj. rate Hellwig rear bars should work as well. Thanks to Frank at Prodigy who`s helping Chassisworks with the fittment details on his mini tubbed cars. Mark SC&C
