G-bar or Quadralink ?, 73 camaro

[The T-man]

73 camaro, going to mini -tub it, and thought while we are under there,
G-bar or Quadralink ?

or the big question, is it "really" worth the time and $ for these to get a 335 rear tire? I hear stories of some people getting lucky and stuffing a 315 under some stock 70-73's, which I could be happy with and save the 2-3K$

any truth to that? rolling the fender lip or bashing in the wheel housing with a BFH is fine w/ me

I would always go DSE if the option was available. I'm not just pulling that out of my ass either. I have dealt with them personally and have there subframe in my car with 2500 miles on it. Top shelf.....

I would say go with the dse out of the two.

as far as the 315's go. you can "fit" them but in my opinion they stick out way too far and you will have to beat on the quarter lips and seat belt hump. plus your rear ride height will be a factor. guess it depends on what look you like.

not a second gen but i have the dse sub and qlink under a 69 wont run anything but the dse from here out. and i have installed a air bar on a buddys car and driven the snot out of it there is no comparison . dse all the way

this 72 has 315-35-17 with our Comp leaf spring kit, yes you wil have to roll the lip and massage the seat belt hump

DSE, Kyle proves it for the last two years with the blue 70 test car. Great product quality and unbeatable customer service. I have their sub under my new second gen project but opted for the lat-d 3-link rear. The 3-link isn't an easy to obtain commodity anymore so I'd say DSE all the way.

Okay so here is my take on this.

You have 4 well known players

DSE
Air Ride
Chassis Works
Speed tech

They are all great companies and eahc product has strong benifits.

Depending on your goals for the car it will help you make the decision. Right now of your looking long term with possible resale in mind it's going to be DSE & Air Ride. On the BB I would say your makret will be DSE but if it's Ebay or private sale it's going to be Air Ride.

Also, are you planning to do the work yourself or hire it out. If you don't have access to all of the fab stuff that will also help make your decision.

You also have another option besides a 4 link. We have been selling our Torque Arm conversion kit for the First Gens now for a few months and will have the Second generation kits available within the next couple of weeks. It is 100% bolt-on and does not require any welding or fabrication experience. They are available for 10 bolts and 12 bolts or you can order the kit with a HD custom Ford 9" if you want to upgrade the housing at the same time. If you are interested, you can view some pics of the First gen kit HERE, Second gen pics coming soon!

Sorry Brett,

Yep, you guys's are the new player on the block. I've been watching your set up on Ty's Formula project. Looks really nice.

if my main concern is price, ride quality/comfort, in other words
I'd like to avoide dropping the $2-3K and
have a smooth compliant ride and still be able to take some twisties once in awhile

So, that leaves me with DSE I would guess?
