How can it be so much cheaper than the others mentioned above? The guy has a lot of positive feedback.

Looks a lot like the Checkered Racing setup that came on my wife's Carmaro. We just repalced it with a Chris Alston Chassisworks G-Link. We wanted a better ride quality at the low ride height we were trying to run. The top links were hitting the rear floor boards. We were also swapping out the 10 bolt anyways so it was a good time to change it all out.

It's avialable if you want it. Make me an offer.


Here's a pic of the newly installed G-link and Fab9

Take a look at these. Both are triangulated 4links which is similar to that used on the Chevelle A-body.

I installed the Chassisworks G-Link in my 68Camaro just like Ed's above and I'm very happy with the results and ease of installation. I notice on the Chris Alston web site they now have some additional products for these suspensions that I may have to think about.

I have had my eye on the Chassisworks G bar for a while. How do you guys like them. Can you use them to eliminate wheel hop too?

That's exactly the brand. He also sells on eBay.

I'm also lowering the car. Were the links hitting the floor at the point it starts going up over the rear? I'm at a point now where I could possibly modify the floor for extra clearance.

I'll send you a PM on your old 4 bar.

Larry,

Here's some pics.

Ride height when we bought Beth's car.


Where it was rubbing and angle of links at that ride height.


You can see where the links were hitting. Please excuse the dust. I have a half mile gravel driveway...


Ride quality was obviously poor with it setup this way. Though we never adjusted it to see where it could be before we decided to replace it. I sent you a PM with some more details on our experience with the car after we bought it.

If adjustability & ease of installation is as important as performance a Torque Arm is something to look at. There are many systems out there and most are well worth using, but the key to a great purchase is figuring out if the system you choose meets all your needs and goals.

DSE has a system that works great. Handling and ride. The ride and handling of my blue 69 was fantastic with their quadralink. It's beaten on and proven weekly by their test cars or by some of the other fast guys driving around here. Go take a ride with them.
