I have not installed one of the Art morrison rear kits yet but am looking forward to finding the right project to use it. Personally, I think it is most likely a excellent no compromise system for someone wanting to push their car to the limit. Weather most of use will use our cars at that limit.......... but I am sure it is killer as is everything Art designs.
I think it is perfectly suited if the rear rails and trunk need to be replaced for rust or damage anyway. Then it is almost a no brainer. If your in there anyway, why not install these new rails?
If everything is tight in the rear structure wise, I do not know if it is worth all the additional fabrication. I do not know if most will ever push their car hard enough to Experience any performance advantage over a Prodigy Bar or Quadralink.
In the end, it doesn't matter to me. All three are great systems and I can sell you any of the 3 systems you want. So no financially bias opinions here!

We do our very best to reply to e-mails ASAP, but like all businesses we are swamped with e-mails ~ mostly spam. I've been on the road since the 14th and had 4500 e-mails in my in-basket. Thankfully my spam blocker cropped about 4300 out of that, but there's always the possibility that a business related e-mail made it into the junk pile.
If you don't get the immediate response that you are looking for, please pick up the phone and call us. 800-929-7188 you can talk to one of our sales and tech guys right then and there, have all your questions answered and order it all in one go. :thumbsup:

Frank,
You feel that your Prodigy bar is on par with the DSE Quadralink? I thought that the Quadralink was on another level. I assumed Quadralink was equal to the Morrison stuff...

I have the Morrison 4 link on my project. Big and beefy, and the stainless poly ends will help keep the ride pleasant. Also had them make me one of their max-G frames. But I bought the frame with no rear suspension installed, and the 4 link setup as parts. My project required the rear frame rails be 34" outside to outside. The max-G is only available in a 40" width. So we made the frame change on our end, and then installed the 4 link, with a custom fabbed watts link.
Hard to go wrong with Morrisons stuff. Everything Ive seen is very high quality.

I do not think there is a distinct performance advantage between them. Look at the air Ride cars and DSE cars. They are with in 100ths of seconds of one another.
One advantage to building a lot of cars is being able to touch and feel different products. We install and sell the Quadralinks also. It is a matter of personal preference. We have 2 Quadralink and 4 Prodigy Bar projects in the shop today. Quadralink is good stuff also.
Better?
A lot more installation and total installed cost? Oh yes

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)

as Tim Taylor would say in this case... MORE TIRE!!!
I'm looking to run a 345. Yea, nay?

I Think Art Morrison products are great high quality but I recommend using Chris Alston Chassisworks (http://www.cachassisworks.com) 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?
