Are there any completely bolt in 4-link package for a 69 Camaro ? Looking for something that doesn't need welding and is top quality.

Have you checked out Chassis works? They have a triangulated 4 link. It is bolt in if you get there axle housing. If you use your axle, it only requires welding of the two upper link mounts to the axle. You can have a shop do that before you put the rest of it in.

I'm looking hard at this setup for my Nova

installed that set-up in my 69 camaro. The detailed instructions on their website with quality pictures really help. There is some welding invovled. I'm very happy with this triangulated 4-link.

G bar is a weld in. Prodigy Bar is the only bolt in. Only welding required is some small tabs on the axle tubes.

The AirBar is now available as a stand alone 4 link and can use either coilovers or Shockwaves. http://www.ridetech.com/store/suspension-components/airbar/1967-1969-chevy-camaro-firebird-airbar-systems.html

This is the exact setup that we have under Velocity for the last three years. It gets driven fairly hard. :)

So with any of these systems, there is some welding required. I guess there is no true bolt in type of system.

Not unless you buy the rear end with the brackets already installed. Then you have a couple of options. If you have a 12 bolt rear end you can likely sell it for good money to offset the cost.

That Hutton guy is always giving good advice.

If you want a total bolt in solution, we can do a ready to go 12 bolt with all the brackets welded, and if your 12 bolt has good guts in it, you can sell it and probably have very little net cost for the new one.

I know Heidt's also has a bolt-in rear link suspension. I think it comes with a 9" housing. They also have a bolt-in IRS setup. I saw it yesterday at the Goodguys show in Pleasanton. It looks, how should i say, interesting...

Frank, I read through the G-Bar and it said you only need to weld the tabs for the upper links on to the axle. Is this correct? I'm looking for a bolt in system too. If I'm going to weld, I'd look at the Art Morrison system.

The G bar requires ZERO cutting and mild welding to the frame rails and welding the tabs to the rear housing.

With our Prodigy Bar, it bolts into the frame rails and you weld tabs on the rear end housing, OR we also have jig welded rears available so you can bolt it in. We even have pre bent tailpipes for the system

Do the Jig welded ears work on a 12 bolt?

Is that "interesting" in a good way?

Our bolt in jig welded rear for our Proigy Bar rear suspension can be done in 12 bolt, 9" or Dana 60.

Do you have any detailed pics, installation instruction and shock & spring spes. I'm ordering somthing this week.
