Not necessarily true. On the First Gen Camaro we are doing a replacement rear sub that you can do either a tri 4-bar or a 3-link. The tri 4-bar stays completely under the stock sheetmetal and the three link comes through. Both can still keep the stock seat in the back. It all depends on how low you want the car to be. Super slammed, then yes you probably will have to get rid of the back seat.

If you are doing a true 4-link (pro street style and not a 4-bar or tri 4-bar) yes, you definitely have to eliminate the rear seat due to framerail and suspension design.

Hey Craig-

When I first started looking at your Tri 4-bar, I was quoted an outside framerail measurement of 40". That would be a bit narrower than the stock rails and would require another fuel tank (if I remember correctly).

Have you designed a clip specifically for the Camaro since then, with different specs?

If these are two different set-ups (maybe Camaro vs. Universal), and I want the narrower one, will I lose the backseat? How much narrower can the Camaro clip be ordered while still retaining the back seat?

In short- I want a Tri 4-bar clip for a '68 Camaro, retaining the back seat, yet narrower than stock for more tire. I don't mind cutting into the trunk or floor as needed but still want the seat. Possible?

We do a Tri 4-bar rear subframe for these cars that fits under the stock floor, you keep your stock fuel tank and back seat and you can run a 335 tire.


Even with our 3-link rear sub you can still keep the back seat and fuel tank (but you do have to break through the floor and trim some seat springs)

I Think Art Morrison products are great high quality but I recommend using Chris Alston Chassisworks Tri-4 bar rear clip Extremely High quality and fast turn around time It shipped 2 days after I ordered. Just my opinion there is nothing wrong with the Morrison rear clip

I'll double check with Matt to see if 345's will work. How big of a front tire are you running? 285's or 295's?
