Bmr, looks like you have a nice setup .. I'm just not a fan of the cage around the rear end for my car..

I cant comment on the BMR however I have the Chassisworks G-Link in my 68 and its been nothing but awesome. Its far superior to the DSE. Chris Austin is an engineer. DSE are marketing people. IMO again IMO. You can fine plenty of info on all three systems on here.

I believe Kyle and Stacey @ DSE were former GM suspension engineers.

On paper, the DSE will be the most complicated to install, compared to Ridetech/others.

Straight off the BFGoodrich Racing site:

Kyle Tucker was an engineer in Detroit before heading south to open Detroit Speed and Engineering with his wife Stacy. The pair set up shop in the heart of stock car racing country where they design, fabricate and install modern engineering for classic muscle cars.
  • Kyle is the co-owner of Detroit Speed and Engineering (DSE) with wife Stacy
  • Former General Motors suspension engineer
  • 2012 SCORE Baja 1000 Class Winner with Team BFG
  • 2010 3rd place Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational
  • 2009 1st place Goodguys Nationals Autocross, the 3rd consecutive vendor autocross trophy for DSE
  • 2008 4 out of 5 “Street Machine of the Year” finalists chose DSE suspension parts for their vehicles

I think it's safe to say that all the current systems come from a pedigree of well trained, experienced, and tested designers.

Appreciated that this is your opinion. I have more Alston parts on my car than DSE and I would run the G-link tomorrow, but your opinion is not going to be widely shared. The DSE quadralink is a very robust design, but it is a more complex installation. This is likely because they weren't willing to make the same packaging compromises that CA was.

Every part I get from DSE just oozes quality. I don't think a marketing company could pull that off.

He just asked the question that should never be asked...

Lol I'm just kidding but that's like asking for a fire fight. Each have there pro's and con's I honestly suggest that you should make friends with people who have the system installed and see if you personally like the way it drives.
