Do all TCP/Alston Products Have Issues??????

Don't forget the Alston G-link ride height issues on 1st gen Camaro's. Few guys including myself have had to install a shorter spring to acheive a more desired ride height. And also the rear frame rails cracking with this and similar older style G-bar/Air bar. This happened in 3 cars on this site that I know of.

I had 2 bad ball joints right out of the box on my front coilover kit.

I wouldn't feel bad at all, this kind of information is one of the reasons I frequent this board.

What size spring did you go down to? I have a first gen and my cars just a shell right now and sits a bit high. I think they come with a 12" spring. Is 9" the way to go and what rate did you go with 300lbs?

I believe the springs are 200 lb and are 10" length. But don't quote me on that I would have to check with the shop that installed them.
