I may take you up on the offer some time Unbroken, so you just made all the bars 3/4 inch longer? I can do this through my work with all chromoly 3/4 ID tubing and chromoly heims with the teflon for around $200 a little more if i throw in the Panhard bar aswell. Keep in mind this is MY cost not what it would retail for. If im just doing a 2/4 drop do you think i would still benefit from doingthe four link and the panhard bar aswell?

Any kind of change to the suspension is affecting it's geometry. So yes, you will benefit.

This could be something you guys can pitch to a company or make the new brackets yourselves. Make them a bolt/weld on set and sell to members. That way the option to do the work yourself is there (for bolt on) then just go get it welded after installed.

In the 4th Gen. Camaro/Trans Am world, UMI & BMR suspension offer relocation brackets for this exact fix. It would be a nice solution for those who don't have the materials/tools to do this themselves.

Looks decent although i dont like the one end being welded as it makes it a little thougher to adjust if your off by a little. If you had screw in style on both ends with jam nuts and oposite threads it would be 10X easier to adjust if you get it put in and your not centered. If The one end wasnt welded on i would look into buying it just because i dont have tubing that size at my work. This is just a minor nit pick and im sure its a great kit and works for most people, Although the brackets im not sure about i havent looked at the brackets on my truck very much so maybe unbroken can chime in on them as to wether or not they will work.

As expressed by their Rep., the reason they do not offer any bolt-in applications is because, "Bolts break, and there is too large of a room for error on the install end. We only offer the link kits in weld on application. The weld on 4-link vs a bolt on 4 link would have the same amount of adjust-ability really." I have to admit that and loosening would be my concern as well...

If you look at the picture on there one end is not completed so you can adjust it to whatever length you need. you weld the **** in and then screw the bushing ends into the **** that welds into the pipe. I believe both ends should be like this instead of having the one end welded completely on. Generaly with the jam nuts you dont have problems with them backing off as long as you tighten everything down. I guess over time it might become a problem but thats the same with anything adjustable theres always a chance a nut might back off
