I am looking for a place that would have a direct fit back half kit complete with frame rails, 4 link, and coil overs, for my 02 camaro. Anyone know of a place.

I understand what a 4 link is and what it takes to put one in.....I also know that I will need a built rearend with the 4 link setup. I can either buy a moser and put it in or I can put in a 4 link and built 9 inch. They are roughly around the same price.....Give or take a few hunderd dollars. I have not decided what I am doing as of yet as I am just weighing my options.

It is more hassle then you want to deal with I can assure you of that.
Just buy the rearend for the car as is or get one used for cheaper. When you get someone in there to do a 4link you would be surprised all the little stuff that you need to change and how expensive it gets.

your options are very simple, you have the choice of purchasing a good 9 inch or a good 12 bolt... those are your realistic options.. scratch a 4 link off your list as you have no need for it and have no idea what its gonna cost you overall..the little things add up quick ...
and if you still want to be unrealistic about this, a ladder bar set up will cost you less overall then a 4 link, will require less fab work and still get the job done(even though im sure you dont need ladder bars either)

if you have already put the money into Torque Arm and control arms,panhard shocks things like that id say jus buy the rear end..
BUT if you havent,I would say find a junk yard 9 inch weld on a back brace cut it to length and make your car a ladder bar car,much less work and strong and you MIGHT be able to get it done for less than the cost of a moser or strange bolt in deal..

Moser 9"$2319
BMR Adj LCA's$250?
Adj Torque Arm $330?
Adj Panhard$140?
Rear Shocks(comp 3-ways)$100?
Custom Street/Race Driveshaft $559
So roughly $3698 in stock suspension style pieces
And I figure you could get a junkyard 9 inch for $100 or so...Call moser get a complete center section axle gear package for $1000...Brakes $400...Ladder Bar Kit for $500 driveshaft for $559 coil overs for $400 and you got yourself a race car...
$2959 and its done...And since we got cash left over call it $3200 and if you have some mechanical skill you do all the labor yourself and buy a case of beer with the money you saved...
All those prices for suspension were off speed incs website,so in my opinion wouldnt be too bad of a thing.

i used a chassis engineering kit for my car. s&w racecars actually makes one for the 93-02 f-body now. it will probably be a little more straight forward than the one i used but i like the look of the round tube frame rails i got with the chassis engineering kit. also dont forget about the cost of sheet metal work if you go witha back-half kit. it does get pretty expensive and it is A LOT OF WORK!!!!
