If you have a heater, I'm there. I think we'll have plenty of time to chat.

Did you check out the youtube video of the AME comparison between the 3-link and the 4-link. Good info, and you can see how the AME setup works. Requires tearing out the OEM frame rails and replacing with the AME rear clip.

Hey John I saw your car at Pleasanton Goodguys, that thing is going to look nice when its done

Well, the weakest part on the early camaro's is that most of the rear frame rail need to be replaced. I went with DSE Quadra-link back in 07, and I like it. Although, don't assume that you rear frame rails is solid. You won't know till you have your car apart. Do you have a stock 8.2 10 bolt? That was in the 67-69 camaros. The 8.5 10 bolts came out in 70's. Actually, I recommend a Ford 9-inch rear end.

I spoke to Craig Morrison at Pleasanton and looked at there setup this weekend. Nice but almost twice the price. I have an 8.5 10 bolt from a 70's car. Not really into 9-inches, I have a hook up for rear ends/parts. My car is in bare metal right now and the rails are in good shape but I know they are the weak link when adding aftermarket suspensions.

I really like the Ride Tech 4-Bar system.It has a super strong cross bar where the chassisworks doesn't have.My Son Kevin's 69 camaro is running their set up.He drive's his camaro super hard w/no problem's,And he is winning also.I am going to use it in my new project also.

I am going with a DSE Quadralink and Moser 9" (and minitub) here soon...

I definitely think the 4-link ride is worth the money over leafs, etc.

Well it took a while to make a decision but I finally pulled the trigger today on the DSE Quadralink. Now can't wait to start the install. I want my car on the road BAD. Check the parts for sale section for my DSE offset shackles, Landrum springs and bushings.
