Agree Don -- Parallel 4 bar is the worst suspension if a guy wants to go around a corner. This is the style I built for Rudy's pro-street Camaro. That's what he wanted. It's almost impossible to ROLL the rear suspension since the suspension just wants to go up and down in a PARALLEL motion from side to side. This stye suspension is great for big fat tires and straight lines. And it really should be called a 5 BAR -- because you need a PANHARD BAR (the 5th bar) in order to keep the rear end stable from side to side. Whereas the triangulation of a triangulated 4 bar doesn't need the Panhard bar for location.


I certainly don't see ANY reason at all for the "harder to install" comment. ZERO - NADA - ZIP.... if a guy can measure - cut - weld - understands SQUARE - PARALLEL - LEVEL etc -- They should be fine.
