art Morrison rear canted 4 link frame kit 68 Camaro

[mtalp50]

Looking for people who installed there canted 4 link in a 68 camaro, how does it handle from daily driving to light road coarse use? I have currently installed DSE front subframe , and looked at there set up rear suspension but the fact that between the rear housing, brackets its not much more to get art Morrisons and you have new frame rails. Also you would have to notch the rear oem rails to clear inner rear tire .morrison frame looks like its profiled to clear .

Are your current frame rails a problem? If not, there is little to no benefit for replacing them. I work with a shop that has installed the AME frame kits, it is quite a lot of work and requires fabrication skills.

There are other good options out there for the First Gen cars, every single one of them has advantages and drawbacks, there is no perfect solution.

I installed an Art Morrison rear subframe for my AME IRS. It’s a stout piece, no notched factory frame rails needed. When you tie it to the subframe with their weld in subframe connectors you are as close to a full frame as you can get imho. I don’t think the level of fabrication is much different than notching the factory rails for Minitubs. There is something rewarding about cutting out those thin gauge factory frame rails… :)

Mandatory disclaimer: I am not a mechanical engineer… :)

I know the price delta is significant but their IRS is a very nice piece imho. Fantastic ride quality…

I've never heard the Triangulated 4-bar described as a "Canted 4 link". But I assume this is what your asking about. I haven't driven mine as my 69 Camaro project has sat idle since I've been scca racing but I do have install pics and can vouch for how easy the install went with two experienced people. My cousin and I installed mine in a weekend.

I prepped the DSE tubs to pop into place prior to cutting the frame out of the car. The ease of install depends on the cars current state. IE: Stripped project or driver. The AM frame is notched where the DSE tub would require factory frame rails to be notched. Honestly fitting the DSE tubs is probably the hardest part.

Your welcome to text me at 714-658-6291. I can send you pics of my install.

AME did a great video that can answer some of your questions. https://youtu.be/aO2yva2JvAY
