4 link ?

which 4 link system do you guys think is the best the tci or the hedits and how low can you go with these kits? thanks guys

Hi,

I guess, you are referring to 1st/2nd Gens?

Well, it depends what you want...
If you are after rigidity, it has been discussed already on this board that may be the TCI would be the better choice.

I decided towards the Heidts (installed it in my 66) because of the following reasons:
- I absolutely wanted to run a full exhaust that exits at the rear, which was easily achievable with the Heidts Kit and may be difficult with the TCI
- I like the Panhard Bar design more than the diagonal link
- I did not want to do too much welding (i.e. at the rocker panels) because I am not a very good fabricator (and because I am lazy!!)
- Well, and because it was easier and cheaper to ship to Germany (but I think that would be no real reason for you...)

Adjustability and Lowering: I am pretty amazed about the adjustability of the Heidts suspension pieces. You can tune probably all you ever need (and then some!) for drag launching and/or hard cornering. I am competing in both areas, so it at least leaves me totally satisfied up to now. The coil overs are very (!) responsive (Though I probably will step up to QA1s double adjustables in the future) and are located absolutely functionally correct, so there is no doubt that apropriate engineering and testing was involved in the R+D of that system.
I am using 26x12x15 Mickeys Sportsman S/R in the back on the street and you can adjust the system VERY low. So low in fact that it is in my opinion not functional any more... ...but, hey - at least you CAN and you asked for that...

When I find the time during the weekend I could probably take some pictures.

RCNO2 Wecome to Steves Nova Site, need some pics of your ride, as 66 german said, are you referring to 62-67 novas. I also installed the Heidts in my 63 and agree with what 66 german has to say . Here are some pics of my conversion that i did myself. Although i did not use the transmission crossmember that came with the kit because it was right in line with my hooker super comp headers and i wanted to keep the exhaust close to the floor of the car. So i just used the stock member that you can see in the pics. I am using the same tires as German and did not tub the rear, but did narrow the rear end 3\4 on each side to accomodate the spacing. If you do any changes to your front steering check out the web site at Churchboysracing.com. Need any further assistance i will try to help.

I know yer looking at two other companies but dont disregard Art Morrison. I have one of theirs and their customer support is great. I have one of their frames that connects up to the front along with the four link. JR
