I now have a little over 1000 miles on "Dust Off" running the G-Link with 8-200 springs and double adjustable vari-shocks in a soft setting. I have inadvertantly hit a couple of rather large bumps (I really have to pay more attention) and I have not experienced any suspension bottoming out. I have a Moser 9" and it too has the filler tube which will hit the shock cross mount but so far this has not been a problem. I still plan to fabricate a cross brace and tie the two front mount bolts together, but I am happy with the handling and ride quality.

As little fab as possible. In terms of budget just looking for the best bang for the buck. Just trying to figure out approximate costs before I decide. Relatively new at this so my knowledge isn't great at the present time but I am learning quite a bit from this site.

Depends on the definition of good? Good ride, good track manners, which is more important? Can you live with one and without the other?

Did you read the subframe sticky?
Did you read the how to get a good deal on parts sticky?

I'd start your own post with.

1. What you intend to do with the car
2. A budget of what you could spend if you got everything you wanted.
3. What you are willing to cut on the car.
4. Are you doing the work (what is your skill level if so) or are you paying a shop.

I think on this post you will get a lot of don't buy a g-bar.

Just remember that the "cheapest and less fab" suspension may end up costing you more to fix and in headaches later down the road.
Was this set up discussed in this thread ? Jakes rod shop?

It's pretty well agreed that a torque arm is very nice for its ease of installation compared to the Q-Link, et al.... and a big reason why I went with one. Worth looking into with SpeedTech and Jake's Rod Shop.

I think you just did. Speedtech would be a good choice if you want to keep everything under the car.
