By the way, that was a great shot of you pulling your front wheel up, I have one of those shots from Thunderhill with my front wheel 2" off the ground. I'll have to dig up the evidence and load it into this lap top, LOL

I want to run a rear tire 315-335 on a 17'' wheel, Im guessing you would know better than I do what the correct width on an axle. I guess my biggest question would be how much does a Gbar run and how much would the housing be?

This is a G Link, not a G bar. A G link has better link ends and lots of adjustability for instant center. In fast math a G link with a Fab 9 bolt in housing is right at $3300. We installed one this weekend in my friends car, I let him do all the work, he did it in 2 days including welding the brackets on his 9" housing, painting the housing, etc.

Very simple install.

I'll agree with Frank here. It's a very easy and straight forward installation.

I also just ordered the G-link from Frank, main reason was ease of install on a completed car. And the fact the the triangle 4-link is a more all purpose setup. I like accelerating as much as I like cornering.

Plus another main reason I went with it was packaging. It seems to have the best exhaust clearance for tailpipes of any of the systems from what I have gathered.

Didn't you recently get a set of Fikse's too? How about mini tubs?

Yes and Yes, just waiting for everything to arrive. Also ordered the same Moser 12-bolt as you.

This is a good thread with a lot of the pros and cons of each. After reading that it seams like the best way to go is a 12 bolt with big bearing torino 9" ends
