STREET-LYNX Triangulated 4-bar
rear suspension system. Current applications - 67-76 A-body,
71-72 B-body, 70-74 E-body
The Street-Lynx suspension system is a simple, yet
highly effective design, using parallel lower links in place of your leaf
springs, triangulated upper links attached to a weld-in crossmember, and a
pair of adjustable coil-overs. The shocks are mounted ahead of the axle,
allowing use of the stock gas tank, and the upper links are located to
allow TTI's bolt-in 2.5" tailpipes, without cutting the floor of the car.
The upper crossbar is located with two existing screw-holes in the car,
and is then welded in place. No technical measuring is required. The lower
links attach to the axle with u-bolts, in place of the leaf springs. The
front of the lower links also have the same dimension as leaf springs, so
the system will bolt in at the stock leaf spring location, or, if the MP
inboard spring relocation is used, the lower links will bolt in that
location as well, making the system easy to use regardless of spring
location, and easily adaptable to your existing configuration. As shown
below, the system can be had with double-adjustable links and chome-moly,
teflon lined road ends, or with more streetable and
longer-lasting bushing-style links. It can also be outfitted with
either coil-overs or air ride. Both options are no additional charge, and
simply your choice when ordering. The ride height is adjusted using the
adjustable shocks and the lower shock mount. 4" of height adjustment is
standard, with a shorter shock available for extra-low ride heights, such
as with cars that have a low stance and large diameter rear
tires.
Please note, if a Dana 60 axle is used in an a-body, the
upper link location is futher outboard, making tailpipes over the
axle impossible. When
ordering, you'll need to specify which axle you'll be using.
