We have run into one roadblock after another with the 4 link suspension and we’re just getting started the bushings did not want to go in like in this video they did not slip in we had to go buy a great big bolt and draw them together like that then the right side frame rail did not want to bolt to the rear shackle it was a half inch off now the center bulkhead completely does not want to line up with where the seatbelt holes are in the rear passenger seat unbelievable and we’re just getting started

What sub frame connectors can be used with this kit? I have a 1978 Trans Am

How GM should have made this an option on the WS6 package for the Trans Am or Z28 or SS. Add a 9 inch rear, plus the works and you're golden.

Still looking for a video of someone doing a competition engineering rear frame rail installation on a second gen camaro for monster tire clearance and modified and upgraded suspension. Meaning ripping out the stock rear rails and cutting up the trunk to allow the new rails to lay properly.

So a kit that requires welding brackets onto the rear end and cutting holes in the car is considered “bolt on”?

Right!!!!! That's what I'm saying haha might as well built pro-stock car

I’d have had to seal those bolt holes up with some silicone and rust prevented the holes drilled. The cars too nice not too.

Do y’all still sell the spring mounting plate in front with big bolt hole that connects to the rail, I somehow messed up the threads on it, I need the front spring mount and the two bolts?

Interesting system .. I don't see any Pan hard Bars .. My '79 Z-28" Camaro has Herb Adams VSE 1" rear sway bar now .. A lot stronger than the stock Z-28 Camaro sway bar.. Can I use the Sway bar that replaced my stock sway bar ? @ridchtv
@verz225 жыл бұрын
With this design 4 link the upper bars set the axle center and also control the side to side movement the panhard would handle.

This is awesome! How large of a rear tire does this system allow with stock wheel tubs?
@LiveInTheNow2475 жыл бұрын
Was thinking the same but you cant go wider tire without changing the stock tubs and narrowing the rear frame rails. So this suspension is only for suspension purposes and not fatter tire clearance.

@DIY-ki8bd5 жыл бұрын
You'll get some less than optimal pinion angle change but I doubt the handling is affected much. I still don't get why they didn't use offset upper axle brackets like DSE. Which puts the pivot behind the axle.
@R0yL335 жыл бұрын
@@DIY-ki8bd I like that the uppers go into the back seat which buys a few more inches , but ya offset on the axle side too would be even better. That's the only thing I don't like about these kits ... the pinion angle at either end of suspension travel. The torque arm kits are better in this regard but heavier I think, more expensive and require a panhard.
