After seeing Fuel, OHCbird, and some of the other cars on the P/T, Talking to Jason about the ride quality of DSE's product, I thought that leaf spring cars rode kinda rough, and that GM 4 link style rode better, Gramps 68 442, my 68 Impala, buddy's GTO and Skylark,

I'm at a crossroad, I'm getting ready to do the minitub and have all the DSE parts set up, in the car, just ready to powdercoat the rear housing and assemble,

but if I get the idea to do this later I'm going to be tearing things out, and right now I'm at the tubs, shock crossmember and subframe connector phase,

During the P/T, I talked with Steevo, how everyone keeps tearing there car apart, to change this modify that, and not a whole bunch are getting put back together in a timely manner, but like I said I'm at the right time at the right place, What do my peers think???

Steve...if you have the money, go ahead and do it. You know damn well that you're going to tear that thing apart later to put that Quadra-link in. Might as well do it now so it's not on your mind later on.

My car is 2 weeks away from paint and I'm STILL messing around with the suspensions. Right now the whole front suspension and frame are out of the car because I had a "change of heart". Ridiculous. :rolleyes:

Do it now.

yeah, it's a lot tougher to convert later as the normal minitub crossmember is different than the quadralink crossmember, and a pain to convert it over. Do it once.

If you even think you might want to do it--do it now. I had the whole leaf spring mini tub kit in and painted and then I did it. It is actually a very simple install if you have the car apart already. Very nice setup.

Thanks Tony for the push,

Good point Jody, angle VS straight across,

thanks all for the encourging words, now to see if DSE will do the parted version of the quadra link , Steve
