Three Link suspension

I am really looking forward to a real world test and comparision on a three link rear suspension. This seems to be the best compromise out there for rear suspensions, but to my knowledge, not a lot of real world tests yet. Since you can get these for more than just a first gen camaro now, any test mule would do for me. I want to put one in a mopar of some kind, but want some feedback about them first.

I agree, the three link is a well proven design. In fact I just installed on on my '68 Camaro. There won't be an install story on it in the magazine since it was not a typical application (I went from a hobbled together 4-link to a 3-link).

However, we plan on extensive testing of my car when it's done so you should be able to see how it does.  

Can I come watch the testing?????  

get a mo-power with leaf spring rear. beef up the stock frame hangers, get some .188-.250 (3/16-1/4 inch) steel tabs on the rear axle for the arm mount, use the stock spring pad as a base, fully weld it, use some, weld in .188 plate to the back of the tabs to box it in. then go to either jegs or summit and get a CE universal wish bone kit, or get jegs universal wish bone kit. personally i'd choose that, looks the best. then through either one of those catalogues and get a universal coil-over shock mount kit. Competition Engineering (CE) and QA1 make them for sure, i think a few other companies might make them. you'll need a welder, the steel plates mentioned, and a good good measuring system.

it can be tricky setting it up making sure the frame bracket and axle brackets are lined up straight with each other, but using the leaf spring base is a really good start. i see the link arms as being the trickiest to get right. obviously the smoothest ride will be using bushings at the arm ends, not heim joints or rod ends, but i could see the ones made to use the stock leaf spring eye bushings. also make it easier to find the right sized bushings further on down the road when they wear out.  

Three links are great, but you sometimes have to lose the rear seat and cut the trans tunnel...unless maybe you're thinking of a torque arm, like on '80's GM F-bodys and Fox body Ford's package from MaxiumMotorsports?

If you're just looking for straightline acceleration, take another look at the Mopar SuperStock springs, with an extra leaf on the passenger side and a pinion snubber on the snout of the axle center.  Moving the axle forward on the leaf helped avoid axlehop.  a Watts link or a Panhard bar may just help that Mopar solid axle in corners, rather than fabricating a 3 link setup.  But perhaps someone at protouring.com has experience and can tell you more.
