Stroker-427

I finished my rear 5-link:


















I'm very proud !!!!!!!

Nice!!! I see you got the "slip" half shafts also. I have the adjustable slip shafts with the Dragvette kit and love it, but you definitely took it a few more steps forward.

I bet your alignment guy is going to love you with all those rods to adjust!!! I know mine at first was like WTF? when I showed him the upper & lower control rods with adjustable slip half shafts but in the end he got it spot on.

NICE! Do any holeshots yet?

Where did you buy your rods and ends?

welcome to the telescopic halfshaft club...

Stroker-427

Hehehe.... I think the guy will love that!
Finally he have to work with only two rods..... the lower one (camber) and the rear one (toe).

The rods are from Vbandp.... custom lenght and 3/4 steel on steel Rodends.

Now I'm working in my new DIY tubular front sway bar...... many times lighter and stiffer (my feeling is that my old 1-1/8" solid one is too weak).

I allready have SAVITSKE race upper control arms..... next step will be tubular lower contro-arms!

...still looking for some top-notch steering upgrade system!
Rack-Attak?
Steeroids?
Jeep Box?

It looks the business, Stroker

Are you going to put a kit on sale?

Stroker-427

Mhmmmmm....... may I have to box the smart-struts like you ?!?!?!

Anybody ever seen this done with a C4 rear?

What the heck is rack-attak???? Google says nothing...

Love the suspension. Is it all bolt on?

Now, go drive it, tell us what it's like!

BTW, and numbers on bump steer, camber change etc??

Panic...... if the system should be priced for the time spent on it...... may Bill could buy it.....

Anyway I'm thinking on that, but I have to change some thing in order to make the system more strightforward for people!

The nice thing is that the hub is designed to work even with leaf spring:

In the next days I will do the road test!!!!

Rack...... something.... the new rack and pinion system from VbandP.

The camber gain in very low, in the range of 0.5° per inch...... and the bumpsteer can be positive, null or negative..... in relaction to the hole where you bolt the rear-outer rodend.

Anyway the logical condition is the center one designed to provide some 0.5mm of toe-in per inch.

Vette Brakes and products has a new bolt in rack and pinion that they call Rack Attack.


Stroker that is quite impressive. I hope it works very well for you.

Stroker-427

I hope too !

Very nice looking setup. You have done very good and it should add quite a bit to the C3 experience. Be sure to come back and tell us all about how it turns out after you test drive it.

Stroker-427

Of course !

Congratulation Stroker,

That looks really great and it should give you so much better rearwheel control. I can't wait to hear how it works on the road.

Best regards, DK.

do you have enough clearance by the crossmember?..... looks like if you take a hard bump you might bend the rod?....... just curious

Yes, no problem..... during the trial test I fully have compressed the rubber bumper (or whichever is he's name....) without any clearance issue!

The car is pretty lowered and there is no more than 2" of stroke avalaible.

Coilovers have 550 lbs springs which, doing the right conversions, is equal to 430-450 lbs leaf spring.

very, VERY impressive!!!


If you build it, they(we) will buy it!

is that 5 link system all custom designed and fabricated?

I am looking to do something like that for my '75.
