https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2015/05/494-1.jpgDoes anyone have info on this system? I ran across it on the internet while doing some torque arm suspension research for my 68 Camaro haven't seen or heard of anyone running it yet.
"Heres a first look at Chassisworks new torque- arm system for first-generation F-bodies. It’s built around a sophisticated Watts linkage with adjustable roll-center height. The trailing arms feature Delrin race greaseable spherical pivots at both ends for smooth articulation. Note the variety of geometry and tuning positions available that allow for different ride heights and uses. (Illustration Courtesy Chris Alston’s Chassisworks)"

I started a new thread here: New Chassisworks Torque Arm Rear Suspension (https://www.pro-touring.com/threads/116066-New-Chassisworks-Torque-Arm-Rear-Suspension) You're more than welcome to come by and I'll give you a factory tour. We're good on test cars right now, but if you head up the road a bit to Novelli's they might let you check out the '70 they're building with this system.
