3rd Gen 4 link Setup - Need it legal to keep up with the Fords

Looks like someone has finally come up with a nice kit to bring the 3rd gen up to snuff with the factory Ford 4 link setup. Definitely need to submit this for an RCR this offseason.

If we could get our uppers straight to get rid of the bind also I agree.

lol ford guys want torque arm, fbody guys want 4 link

We should have a "trade" system. Each Mustang that runs a torque arm must account for a camaro running a 4 link.

Superior platform, car parity, and so forth...

The last thing I want is a torq arm

See, Mustangs be slow because they don't have cross-axis pivot bushings.

Fancy talk for a Spherical bushing??

Bryan, that setup is so they can install 345mm rear tires and hook on a drag strip...not for cornering.

Also, how is there bind in the mustang 4 link if you have sphericals at all points? The bind in the stock bushings is their inability to deflect in more than the single axls. Spherical bushings can't bind in that manner.....is this just more corner-carver bullshit everyone spreads like gosphel?

Craig runs sphericals in all four locations and he has made it work and he is very fast running this set-up. I spent a lot of time on the phone with Jack from Maximum Motorsports and he says it will make tons of bind running all sphericals. He said they made a model and it did not work.

I would disagree. Their setup is for handling-they don't do anything for the drag strip. Their suspension focus is for road course, autocross, street driving. They have made their Quadralink for older cars for years for the Pro Touring crowd and autocross events. Same thing here by getting rid of the torque arm.
