I've heard a lot about people removing/reversing the quad shocks for tires. Will I notice any difference down the track if I take them off?? or reverse them? I still have to put the loop in my car this week, figured I could do this as well.
Any advice would be helpful :)

FYI - Bolt on 302, 3.27's, went 13.65@100 - 1.9 60ft.

Thanks
 
OK. I'll display my ignorance. I'm putting boxed, non-adjustable, uppers and lowers on my '88.
Other than weight, space for bigger tires, etc. what's the argument against keeping the quad shocks?
 
Quad shocks were installed due to the flex in the stock (factory) rear suspension components and bushings. Aftermarket (beefier) suspension components do not flex/ move around like the factory stuff does. Therefore, you don't need the quadshocks when you install aftermarket stuff. There may be a more scientific explanantion to it than what I said, but that's it in a nutshell.
 
Get rid of them!!! My brothers sn95 hooks better without them then it did with them and my 79 never had them hooks great there useless and unless they've been replaced they will do more harm then good
 
They were there to controll axle wrap/wheel hop due to the junk suspension parts ford put on teh car. If you put aftermarket stuff on they serve no purpose.
 
Thanks guys!!

actually if you search Corral, there are arguments for either case. Some people still experience wheel hop even with aftermarket upper/lowers. I ahvent, but im just saying.

there sure is, and i've read through a bunch of them. Most of the ones still experienceing problems don't see to have too much mechanical aptitude! I have NEVER had a fox wheel hop with the proper set up, and good working suspension componants without a quad. A good shock and spring are key.

I've heard both cases .. :\ Most of the time, it seems like its worn out stuff? Or crap tires.
