Its allready got a 4 link. Isn't ladder bars a step backward? I would upgrade all the factory arms then install a pair of coil overs straight up and down and ditch the factory shocks and springs.

I do have adjustables upper and lower, what coilovers you recommend. When you say straight up and down just mean move them in some and mount straight up and down

What type of racing do you do, and how fast is the car?

I haven't tried it yet personally but was recomended by a much more experienced and faster racer than I. Build or buy some type of weld-in cross member to hold the upper shock mount, weld some type of lower shock mount onto the rearend tubes. Place coil overs in so they are perfectly straight up and down. This is for drag racing. Might be tough to fit it with the stock gas tank.

i just got this link today


UMI could probably make you a kit as well but i think the coilovers are angle mounted to be a bolt-in.
