Tri-link/ Panhard conversion
 
I'm looking into doing the 3-link and Panhard conversion on my 85 GSL weekend/track car.

After searching on the site, the best is supposed to be gforce engineering but last I heard, the owner retired and closed the shop. I found another company called KCraceware.com but I'm not even sure if they're still operating. Last activity I can find for them is from 2016 and the site is a bit dated.

Does anybody know any current vendors selling the 3-link kit for the SA/FB rx7? I'd even be open to making my own if anybody has the plans for a setup.

Thanks!

You will have more luck with ACBRON if you are going to go to the trouble of ordering from Aus. Neither companies do tri-link but both do panhard conversions. Adsy (Acbron) has the patterns from Extreme Rotaries, and has added billet hangers and braces to the design which are really trick.
IMO for the amount of effort and modification to do a tri link properly you might as well do equal length four link instead of turning the axle and diff housing into an overstressed and inherantly weak and failure prone member, or just leave it the hell alone and fit a panhard and proper spring rates.

KC Raceware was still on business about a year ago. I bought a set of the aluminum hat two piece front rotors. I have the GForce engineering Panhard and Trilink on my SA for over 15 years of autox and HPDE use and abuse and they are still in good shape and the car handles quite nicely.

I see Charlie Clark at KC Raceware weekly. I rent space from him. Call him up.

Thanks guys. I think I'll go with KC raceware for the tri-link. Hopefully it fits my budget!

For the Panhard, have you guys built your own? I've seen some homebrew jobs that look solid but I'd like to hear from people who've really tracked their cars.
