True Mike! I always tell people if you wanna do it, do it cause you will regret it later.

As far as coil overs I will never use leafs again. The coil over spring and link suspension motion just gives a better ride over a leaf. Every customer I have swapped a Ridetech set up has said the same. I call it a lesson of modernization. Weight transfer is smoother and traction is improved giving the driver a better driving experience.

I love the DSE quad link but most of my clients are on a budget so the reduction in labor price gives the Ridetech air bar a big advantage. When it comes to the quad link I like the geometry and layout on the 2nd gen kit over the 67-69 kit. Mainly the upper link position on the rear end housing .

This is so true....here I am 15 years later and have done/bought stuff 3x over. I now currently have a tub and quadra link kit in my bedroom waiting to be installed. I have the cash to get it installed, just looking for the right guy and the ability to swallow the pill and go. I knew if I didn't go ths route, I would regret it.

I had the same questions with my car and spent hours looking at different suspension set ups, wheels, fitment, speaking with experts and owners.

I even posted a similar thread on here about it.

The end result is seen below on my 68 Camaro - (please excuse the crappy cell phone pic)

Mini tub with the DSE Quadralink. Based upon the available information, the user reviews, and the position in my build(fully blasted and ready for metal work) it made sense.

If you have the finances, aren't destroying pristine paint and feel that it serves a purpose or need (which I think it does or you wouldn't even be considering it) then do it.



That reminds me I need to update my build thread lol
