Normally a 4 bar has very little adjustments where a 4 link has more.Have you looked at a 3 link or torque arm set up? Like http://www.speedtechperformance.com/...rod/prd170.htm or http://www.jakesrodshop.com/Products.html or a bolt in one https://securec20.ezhostingserver.co...id=25&catid=77

What's everybody's opinion on this?

How can it be so much cheaper than the others mentioned above? The guy has a lot of positive feedback.

^ that is a drag race set up. Really good for planting the rear on fast starts, not so good for going around corners.

I read that 4 bars are considered more for street use, (corners) and 4 links were for drag racing.

You might be right, but that looks like a 4 link to me. Ask the seller his intended application, get some stats (AS%) and see what he says...

AS% = Anti Squat %

If adjustability & ease of installation is as important as performance a Torque Arm is something to look at. There are many systems out there and most are well worth using, but the key to a great purchase is figuring out if the system you choose meets all your needs and goals.

DSE has a system that works great. Handling and ride. The ride and handling of my blue 69 was fantastic with their quadralink. It's beaten on and proven weekly by their test cars or by some of the other fast guys driving around here. Go take a ride with them.
