With Guldstrand and Greenwood out of the picture as far as places to get it, are there any other places for purchasing a 5-link setup for the rear suspension, or is the only option now to go custom and fabricate your own?

I saw pictures of Vansteel's 8 link prototype on their Facebook page.

Drag Vette's 6 link?

the Guldstrand style 5-links are out there, are you willing to pay $2500 for one with all the Corvette stuff?

I just looked at it. That looks very interesting. I'm curious what the price will be when/if it becomes an option. Awful tempting, especially if it handles the toe issue like the old 5-links.

I've looked at this and it looks like it's better suited toward drag racing since it keeps camber gain to a minimum with suspension travel. I'm looking at something more for track work.

Yeah, I believe so. I make my last payment on the TKO 500 this month, so suspension is going to be the next thing. The car currently has the stock suspension (9 leaf rear) with Bilstein HD shocks at all four corners. It's not the most sporting setup, to say the least. I've been constantly trying to decide whether to go up in increments (composite springs, smart struts, etc.) or just go ***** out on the rear setup. The more I think about it, the more I keep looking at these 5-links and now this new Van Steel 8-link. The damned car just makes me wanna do things to it!

Might want to wait and see what Detroit Speed is working on.

It's not like they are new to the suspension market. Plus they're out there constantly testing and competing with their project cars.

We installed one of the RideTech systems not long ago, and it works very well:
