We had a chance to install the new G link is Louis Barraza's badd ass 68 Camaro we painted last month. We used a 12 bolt rear and did the weld on brakcets on this car. Turned out fantastic, I am VERY impressed. the stuff came very well packaged, fit perfect, and looks amazing. I have not been able to drive the car yet. This is a on going project. But knowing what the original G Bar system is capable off, add the adjustability of the G Link, and the extra beef in the complete system. And it is a no brainer this will be even better then the original G bar.

I will have a G link installed in my own car very soon and will be able to do driving impression and track testing. If I ever get time to work on my own stuff.

A pair of brackets weld to the inner frame rails, pretty basic welding here in a solid easy to weld area. They also self locate pretty well, so it is almost impossible to screw them up.

A bolt in crossmember ties the to brackets together

Another angle, Looks killer

The shocks can be mounting in multiple vertical positions to adjust ride height. Additional ride height adjustment can be made buy running the coil spring up and down the shock. Multiple spring rates are available to suit your individual needs.

The upper shock has 3 horizontal positions to change the shock angle.

Here you can see the loower bar has 4 vertical positions, the upper bar has 2 positions for instant center changes. Really cool stuff.

Look at the size of that lower bar! Really beefy! The Offset bushing moves the lower bar inboard on mini tub cars for excellent tire to lower bar clearance. Weld on brackets, or a ready made Fab 9 housing are required for offset bar mini tub aplication. NON mini tub cars can use the original mono or multi leaf mounts, or can use weld on brackets or a ready made Fab 9 housing

What should I expect to pay for a whole kit with a new 12 bolt and everything required to do the minitub at the same time? Looking to run a 315 on an 17x11 in a 69 Camaro and have no desire to do any road course racing.

thanks,
dj

Yes John, this car will add the splined lower sway bar later. This is a pre production shot and the uper crossmember is much different, but the sway bar is how they look. I have the sway bar going on my car, like I said, I just need time.

We do not have ready 12 bolts with pre welded brackets yet. We sell quite a few 12 bolts for our other suspensions and they are by far the most popular rear request, so I will probably offer our own 12 bolts with pre welded brackets if Chris Alton has not plans to do them.

Right now I can sell you a bare Moser, built and ready to run, and you weld the G Link brackets. Or you can buy a Fab 9 housing ready to go and we can stuff it with a axle and center package.

If you do a G Link, with offset pivot balls, weld on brackets, and a loaded Moser 12 bolt, Tru Track, 33 spline, Big Ford ends, bla, bla bla, your looking at right around $4650.

If you do a G Link, with offset pivot balls, with a loaded Fab 9 (all brackets pre welded) with a nodular center, Tru Track, 31 spline axles, Big Ford Ends, bla, bla bla, your looking at right around $5350.

Yup, gotta love black. Louis dad is the original owner of that car and sent it to us for paint. It is snow balling slowly but surely into a high end Pro Touring car.

Louis is a capable mechanic and is taking it home now to put it together.

Hey Frank, great write up. Looks like a solid system. And the PRICE!!!! Thats dirt cheap for a fully loaded rear. Bolt yer door down, folks should be knocking it down soon. Thats a jump on it price. JR
