DSE Quadra link or DSE relocated leafs??
 

Hello all!

Can some one explain me the pros and cons of DSE Quadra link vs DSE relocated leaf springs?

What are biggest differences between these two systems?

Price.
Functionality.

Don't quote me on this, but I think the prices are:
The rear spring/minitub kit is around $1295
QuadraLink with all necessary parts and tubs is around $2564.

For the difference in price you get a true 4-bar/4-link rear coil-over suspension with a panhard bar. I am definately NOT taking away from leaf spring suspensions, but the QuadraLink is much more adaptable (tunable) to different track/street conditions.

Like anything else, it depends on your intended usage.

Just my less than two cents...

Clearly, the best choice is to bypass both the leaf spring deal, AND the quadra-link, and go right to the top of the heap, the Lateral Dynamics Three Link setup. Well, I might be a bit biased, but on a value basis, we feel it can't be touched. No bind, outstanding geometry, and very cool looks/function.

Back to your normally scheduled prgram.

Lateral Dynamics
 

to futher what mark says look how goddamn sexxy this looks in its plain mock up cloths. this is using flat bar for shocks, watts links and control arms, final pieces are chrome moly control arms,, watts links and bilstein or penske coil overs, this really for the money if you do not have a rearend is the way to go, if you are thinking of a non leaf rear susp.

Nice stuff, Jake. Get the rear painted yet?

I just got done installing the Quadra-link. I would recommend it to everyone. Very good quality, very easy install, and the finished product looks awesome! Kyle and Stacy definitely have the i's dotted and t's crossed on this product. :thumbsup:

How about clearance on the Quadra Link for a rear exit exaust?

Jim - No problem with clearance. A full 3" system clears. There is a good (but small) picture of this on page 47 in the May 2006 Super Chevy magazine.

How about the narrowed tank and mini tub shocks
for the spring minitub kit

tank $699 and up

mini tub shocks $210

that makes the difference around $350

Very true Mike. Forgot about the narrowed tank and shocks. Thanks.
The QuadraLink is an excellent piece.
