Default best bolt in rear suspension

I am looking for some opinions on the best bolt in rear suspension available for a 67 Camaro. Don't want a DSE because my car is finished and don't want to cut on the floors. Just looking to get rid of the leaf springs for coilovers.

And there's no search you could have run to narrow down your question?

Anyway, you know what they say about opinions . . .

Take a look at the G-Bar by Chris Alston. I used it on my car, and while not on the road yet, the install was probably the most straight forward of any major upgrade I have done to date:


Got the entire setup, G-Bar + Moser 12 bolt G-Bar ready rear end, Mini-Tubs and Gas tank from Frank @ Prodigy. Great guy to deal with, he gives free tech support to forum members you might give him a call.

Thanks for the referal BBC69Camaro. The NEW Chris Alston G Bar is no longer a bolt in product, but is a weld in product now. The Prodigy Bar (Old G Bar which BBC69Camaro has) is still a bolt in product and is perfect for finished cars. You do not even have to remove any interior. Everything is done from under the car except removing the old shocks.

There is some mild welding on the rear end if you do not get a Ready made rear. You can use your present rear but will weld 4 small brackets.

The Prodigy Bar comes standard with 12 way adjustable shocks and and coil over springs in a variety of rates, Double adjustable shocks and Shockwaves are both options. Also, the arms are available with urethane ends for drivers, and pivot ball ends for more aggressive driving or High HP. Pricing starts at $1900.

Default Heidts

You might want to also look into Heidts bolt in 4 link. I drove it personally & the car worked very well. There car also did very well at the Super Chevy suspension shoot out.

The new set up from Speedtech is bolt in. Give them a call.

+1 on the G-bar\g-bar ready moser rear. Ride is very good, adjustability is nice too. No cutting, we welded this one in as well.



I'll go crawl under the car and get you the pics installed if you like. I don't have any now cause I can't get under the damn thing without jackstands. I think I am going back to building off road vehicles.

Chris.
