G'day guys,

Question is any body actively using the Levy Racing 5 link rear?
Is it for an 8.8 or 9" rear or both,couldn't really find much apart from the general description at Levy's site!!
How have you found it and what type of driving are you using it in!!....Looks to be pretty reasonable $$$$

I have it on my Daytona Coupe. It's designed for the Ford 8.8 rear. Just rolled over 1000 miles this weekend on a mountain run to Palm Springs. It drives great and seems to handle really well. Only downside is that all 5 links are solid mounted on heim joints so there is no rubber or poly mounting to absorb noise.

One of our local guys had added it to his FFR and swears by it. He says the car really hooks up now and feels more stable. That's about all I know about it though, sorry I can't be more help.

Cheers thanks for the replies so far..looking for a 9" Option had a feeling this had been designed for the 8.8 ,still a possibility with the 9"with some engineering!!!

Call Gordon and ask him about it. Nice guy! He may have info about using it on a 9".

I have applied it to a 9" and it work really well. A small bracket needs to be built and welded to the back of the housing. Aside from that it is quite easy.
