Air Ride or AME/DSE - Lateral-g Forums

itsals1 · #1 12-20-2008, 04:22 AM

I just recieved a ART catalog yesterday and have been thinking about their Street Challenge suspension system for my 67' camaro, instead of a AME C6/ 3-link or DSE sub/Quadra-link. Looking for opinions good/bad, why/why not? Travis

Travis, i have a 68 big block 760hp 5 speed camaro.* I have had the DSE quadralink on my car now for almost 2 years.* I am very pleased with this suspension.* I had leaf springs before with cal-tracs, the difference was night and day.* In my humble opinion whether you like hard corners or going straight real fast these guys at DSE know how to build great suspensions* .* Greg

I'm very pleased with the Airride system in the Chevelle. Very comfortable/handles awesome/ and you get the coolness factor of being able to slam the car at the push of a button. Not to mention that I've yet to find someone with better customer service. The ART guys are awesome.

Lateral Dynamics 3 link: I think there has yet to be a more capable rear end setup on the market then the LD 3 link. It performs awsome, and looks downright nasty. I think it would be cool to try out some Shockwaves with the 3link.

I've not had any real experience with the DSE stuff or AM but From what I heard they are both very capable setups. I do know that they look good.

I guess what your gonna have to figure out is how crazy do you wanna go with the car. Goodluck

Wow! I had no idea that the vote would be this close, interesting?

Nice to see you still lurking around here, Greg!

The DSE subframe and Quadralink worked fabulous in my 69 camaro. The big change, besides the great handling, was the quality of the ride. Alot of good option choices is a good thing.

Another product you may want to consider is our direct-fit rear clip:

Only requires you to remove your existing rear frame rails for the triangulated 4-bar clip, which you should be doing anyway if you're making any serious power. The 3-link version obviously requires some fab.

Could easily be installed in one weekend.

What's your comparison on the 3 to 4 link feel after having both in your car?
