G-bar, G-link, Q-link... I got my keys mixed haha

Vegas - So if Im not going to be TOO ROUGH (no autocrossing, maybe once a year if that at the drag strip) but have around 550-600 rwhp, will the Prodigy Gbar (I guess more asking about the frame rails) hold up? Or would the DSE Qlink be the better option? I just felt the Qlink might be overkill/more than I need to pay for my project.

It should...... If I had it to do over again, it would have a quadralink in a New York minute.

Ron, it seems the DSE equipped cars get out of the hole better. That's my opinion. That could be as simple as shocks.

I also installed the Alston G-Link and it came with 12-200 springs which set the car too high even on the lowest mount position. I simply purchased a pair of 8-200 springs from Speedway Motors and the shorter spring allows me the necessary adjustment to set the car where I want it to be.

How does it ride with the 10" springs?

The car is not operational yet so I cannot tell you how it rides. Just FYI, the Prodigy bar and the G-Link are the same thing and both are manufactured by Alliston's Chassisworks.

That's not correct. The G Bar was a joint venture between Air Ride and Chris Alston. Basically and air bar with varishocks. The prodigy bar is the same but with QA1 end links everywhere except the front spring pocket. The G Link is a fresh design from Chris Alston solely.

What I can tell you is that I purchased a Prodigy bar from Frank and what arrived was the G-Link from Alston. That tells me that what Frank is selling as the Prodigy Bar is actually the G-Link. That said, I understand this suspension has been undergoing a number of improvements recently.

You mean G-Bar. There are two different generations of Alston things, the G-Bar which is what the Prodigy Bar is based off of, and the G-Link which is similar but different.

The G-link doesn't need it's bearings changed in general because they have spherical already (except maybe the lowest variant). The Cradle is vastly different and I believe offers much more adjustment.

I'd have to talk to Frank but what I said is on the money since I can't imagine Frank is making any changes to the G Link. It has the trick end links and adjustments.

The Prodigy Bar is a G Bar with different end links that will last. I tore out the factory end links my 1st autocross.

Using G Bar due to marketing.

I bought my G Bar in 2007. I don't want to sound like a prick, but I know what I'm talking about. HA HA

Yeah check out Vegas's project thread... he knows every inch of his car which includes a 4-link stated previously. Hes been through this a couple of times Im sure.
