SEMA 2011: Chris Alston’s Chassisworks’ G-Bar Rear Suspension System

The G-Bar will dramatically improve ride quality and performance over the stock leaf-spring suspension.

If you have an older muscle car you understand just how those rear leaf springs can make a vehicle’s ride. But a lot of restorations will leave them on the vehicle to ensure that the car is restored to a point exactly the way it left the factory. But if you are looking for a way to create a better handling, better riding, and all around better performing vehicle. You might want to look at Chris Alston’s Chassisworks‘ G-bar rear suspension system.

Available for ’67-’81 Camaros and Firebirds, ’67-’70 Cougars, ’64-’70 Mustangs, and ’68-’74 Novas, The G-bar features a variety of improvements versus the Stock leaf-spring system. “The G-Bar will dramatically improve ride quality and performance over the stock leaf-spring suspension.” Said Chris Alston. “The G-Bar chassis cradle’s self-positioning system uses existing factory undercarriage features, requires no fabrication, with very little welding and trimming.”

The G-bar’s upper and lower suspension link mounting brackets feature multiple positions to optimize vehicle handling. Upper links are length adjustable to set pinion angle and suspension pre-load if needed. G-Link lower arms are also adjustable for wheelbase variations and precise housing alignment. They also feature:

• Highly adjustable suspension geometry
• USES OEM or direct fit FAB-9 housing
• Self positioning install; minimal welding
• coil-over shocks or Ridetech’s Shockwave air suspension
• Link-bar styles: poly bushing, bearing, and billet
• Anti-roll bar styles: splined-end or sliding link

It also features adjustable shock locations that provide you with over four inches of ride-height adjustment. The system gives you the ability to provide increased stiffness for improved cornering or softer ride without changing springs.
