Well then, the triangle 4 links will hook much better and handle great too. The AME is a great choice for a full on effort, or a car that needs frame rails anyway.
But as Todd mentioned, if you do not need frame rails, you would love G Link.
Wow, I've been out for too long, never even heard of Alston. Todd, i,d like to run my leaf spring set up against that Alston set up and see how much difference it makes. I have a feeling this rear suspension hunting is gonna be awhile.
I think it would be hard to tell Gaetano. I don't know how your car compares to mine. The biggest difference is going to be ride. You can stiffen it up for the track and soften it up for the street. That's what I really like.
These are some pictures from when i brought the car home before I even had a chance to clean it up. The car is rust free minus some minor surface rust. I bought it in NC the frame is solid from what I can tell. Sorry about the poor quality pics Im currently away from home training.
There is no doubt that 3 and 4 link stuff looks great, but if its not beating my track times I'm definitely not spending the money. I guess I'm gonna have to chase guys down with different set ups at timed events.
Looks like the rails are killer. If your going to put any power in it you will need a rear. We can do the fab 9 housing with brackets all welded made to width you want
Todd and Frank are both right. I was in your shoes a few months back. Looked at AME, GBar and DSE. Frank brought me back to earth when we discussed racing results that are really more dependant on the driver than the system. In the end I want a street car that spends at least as much time at street car events. I chose the DSE Quad link.
If my driving skills ever outgrow my set up, I'll revisit the decision....but I'm not holding my breath!

You know what they say, proofs in the pudding.
A good set of GW Cat 5s are a good set up, just ride terrible as Todd mentioned. there is a slight advantage to a 3 / 4 / torque set up with additional articulation and less "action / reaction" like leaf springs have
